Orbital data centers face hard constraints: space-qualified chip lifespans, launch scheduling risk, and onboard cybersecurity SmallSat Europe experts argue that “orbital data centers” will hinge on non-glamorous fundamentals: ensuring compute hardware survives long mission lives, securing reliable launch availability to hit deployments, and closing cybersecurity gaps as on-orbit servers become mission-critical. The cluster also highlights sovereign in-orbit data hosting plans using StarVault modules.
