Google’s Space-Based AI Data Centre Plan Faces Collision Risks in an Increasingly Crowded Orbit
Google’s Project Suncatcher aims to build a solar-powered AI data center in space. Experts warn the crowded Sun-synchronous orbit poses high collision risks from space debris, and without autonomous safeguards, even a single impact could trigger a cascade, scattering millions of fragments. This project underscores the urgent need for orbital debr...

AI in Space: Why Elon Musk, Google, and Amazon Want to Make It the Next Frontier?
Major AI companies are exploring space-based data centres to cut energy and cooling costs. Google is researching solar-powered TPU satellites under Project Suncatcher, while Nvidia-backed Starcloud is preparing to launch an H100-equipped satellite powered entirely by solar energy. Leaders like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have also expressed interest, ...

An Asteroid Burned Up Over California Just Hours After Being Spotted
On October 22, 2024, asteroid 2024 UQ was detected just hours before entering Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, near California. The ATLAS survey detected it shortly before impact, but delayed tracking data prevented immediate monitoring. The European Space Agency’s Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre later confirmed the asteroid's e...
