Rapid increase in electricity demand Artificial intelligence (AI) Data centers are reaching new heights as companies pursue plans to locate data centers in space.
Billionaire entrepreneurs SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos have indicated they are working on developing a permanent data center in space. This would allow energy-intensive data centers to be cooled more cost-effectively than on Earth, given the strain on the power grid.
Upcoming space launches will be another key test as another company, Lone Star Data Holdings, pursues its goal of putting AI on board. space data center within 10 years.

Sidus Space plans to launch LizzieSat-4 and -5 into orbit later this year on a SpaceX rocket carrying a payload that will include a LoneStar Data Holdings data center. Lone Star’s data centers serve customers such as U.S.-based AI Data Lab;
Lone Star recently sent a data center to the moon on a test mission, successfully transmitting videos, documents, and data. AI analysis Returns to Earth during flight. The company plans to have a data center in orbit around the moon by 2028, and on the moon’s surface by the early 2030s.

Lone Star founder Chris Stott told FOX Business Network’s Madison Alworth that the space is “unique” in its cooling characteristics, energy characteristics and other factors that affect data centers.
“But more importantly, here on earth, where we are creating data, there are storms, hurricanes, hacks, cyber ransomall network issues. “This allows us to have domestic back-up even outside the Earth,” he said.
He added that the nascent space data storage industry initially faced recognition challenges amid questions about whether it was technically feasible or necessary, but the data center boom over the past year has helped move it “from science fiction to science fiction.”

Data center boom driving AI revolution could deplete grids and wallets
Nicole Stott, a former astronaut and member of Lone Star’s advisory board, said putting data centers in space would alleviate the problems posed by data centers on Earth, such as those on Earth. power grid.
“There is so much in this near-Earth environment that offers us ways to remove some of the most harmful industries from Earth and incorporate them into the benign environment of space in a thoughtful and ultimately sustainable way,” she explained.
