Google unveils Project Suncatcher to host TPUs in solar‑powered, optical‑linked orbital data centres

Project Suncatcher proposes compact constellations of solar‑powered LEO satellites carrying Google Trillium TPUs, connected by free‑space optical links to run large AI workloads. Trillium chips passed particle‑accelerator radiation tests, but Google warns on‑orbit thermal management and long‑term reliability remain key hurdles.
