Data Centers in Space: A Growing Trend
With the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) computing exceeding data center supply, companies are exploring space for future data center expansions. A limited supply of land, electricity, and water has led to increasing interest in orbital data solutions, which promise to overcome these obstacles. Nividia has announced its Space-1 Vera Rubin computer, engineered for optimal performance in space, while Starcloud, an Nvidia-supported developer, plans to utilize AWS Outposts on its upcoming satellites.
During GTC 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted a strong upward trend in data center spending, with revenue increasing by 92% year-over-year. SpaceX’s Starship will also facilitate the transport of large satellites, boasting a payload capacity of 200 tons per flight. In the meantime, Amazon reported a 28% rise in revenue for its AWS division, which is projected to expand further in the space sector, aiming for a new satellite constellation and deploying AWS Outposts in orbit.
