A Hugo-based static website about space data centers — exploring orbital data centers as infrastructure for the AI era.
Terrestrial data centers are hitting hard limits: strained power grids, years-long permitting, and billions of liters of cooling water. Orbital facilities offer a physics-based alternative:
- ~96% solar duty cycle in dawn/dusk sun-synchronous orbits
- Passive radiative cooling — zero operational water use
- 4–5x energy yield per m² vs. average fixed terrestrial solar
- PUE as low as 1.05 vs 1.2+ on Earth
