Google waxay ku diraysaa qorraxda sataleyad AI ah oo leh chip-yo cusub, iyadoo ujeeddu tahay in la ogaado sida chip-yadaas u shaqeeyaan marka ay ku jiraan fagaaraha qorraxda. Sataleyaddan waxaa loo dirayaa bishan October 1-aad, iyadoo la isticmaalayo rakibka SpaceX Falcon 9.
Ujeedka sataleyadda iyo sida loo diyaariyay
Ujeedka ugu weyn ee sataleyaddan waa in la ogaado sida chip-yada Tensor Processing Units (TPU) ee Google u shaqeeyaan marka ay ku jiraan fagaaraha qorraxda, iyadoo la eegayo dhibaatooyinka qorraxda iyo xaaladaha qabow. Google waxay sheegtay in sataleyaddan ay tahay tallaabo hore oo ka mid ah qorshaha Project Suncatcher, kaas oo ujeedkiisu yahay in la sameeyo xarumo AI ah oo ku yaalla qorraxda.
Sataleyaddan waxaa loo diyaariyay inay ka gudubto imtixaanad, iyadoo la ogaaday in chip-yada TPUs-ka Google ay kalsooni ku leeyihiin dhibaatooyinka qorraxda iyo xaaladaha qabow. Haddana, waxaa jira xad-dhaafyo, sidaas darteedna Google waxay diyaarinaysaa nidaam qabow oo loo isticmaali doono heat pipes iyo radiators, iyadoo chip-yada ay u shaqeyn karaan muddo 15 daqiiqo gudahood.
Qorshayaasha horudhaca ah ee Google
Google waxay qorsheysay inay bishan October 1-aad ku dirto sataleyad kale oo labaad, iyadoo ujeeddu tahay inay sii waddo imtixaanka chip-yada TPUs-ka Google. Tani waxay muujinaysaa in Google ay diyaar u tahay inay sameyso sataleyado badan oo leh chip-yo AI ah, iyadoo ujeeddu tahay inay ka gudubto xarumaha AI-ka ee dhulka.
Travis Beals, hoggaamiyaha Project Suncatcher, wuxuu sheegay in sataleyadahaas ay u shaqeyn karaan muddo 15 daqiiqo gudahood, kadibna ay u baahan yihiin inay qabowdaan.

Google is set to launch an experimental satellite carrying its Tensor Processing Units aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on October 1st, marking the first step in Project Suncatcher, an initiative that could eventually place AI data centers in orbit.
Mission Aims to Stress-Test AI Hardware in Orbit
The satellite will be designed to measure how Google's TPUs perform under the physical stress of spaceflight, including radiation and thermal extremes. During ground testing, the chips proved capable of withstanding high levels of g-force and radiation, yet Google noted that some conditions can only be verified in the space environment.
Travis Beals, senior director of product management for Project Suncatcher, explained that the mission is intended to identify points of failure and apply those findings to future missions, laying the groundwork for a constellation of chip-equipped satellites in space.
Cooling Challenges and Future Expansion Plans
Google is also planning to test a cooling system involving heat pipes and radiators while the chips operate in orbit. However, the TPUs can only run for about 15 minutes before they must be turned off to cool down, highlighting the significant thermal management challenges of running AI hardware in space.
Looking ahead, Google plans to put two satellites into orbit next year, continuing its methodical approach to proving that space is a viable location for scalable AI compute.
Industry Vision for Space-Based AI Infrastructure
The idea of placing a constellation of chip-equipped satellites in space as an alternative to data centers on Earth has been floated by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Project Suncatcher represents Google's experimental initiative to explore this ambitious concept.
Beals emphasized that exploring space as a viable location for scalable AI compute won't happen all at once, requiring methodical engineering to prove hardware can handle the physical and unpredictable realities of operating in orbit.
