Data centers form the core of our network world, housing cloud data and train algorithms for the AI revolution. But that is not without consequences for the planet. To cover their electricity hunger, similar to medium -sized conditions, nuclear parts are raised and large quantities of cooling water are used. Chinese researchers therefore test a new approach – and shoot servers.
This is what happened a few weeks ago when a long rocket on 2 March with twelve satellites on board the Jiuquan Space Center started a job. On board: the first twelve satellites of the “Three Body Computing Constellation”, the name of which is based on the science fiction novel “The Three Suns” by the Chinese author Liu Cixin, who is also popular abroad. Every satellite is equipped with powerful computer hardware and communicates with the rest via a laser connection. But what does China bring in the room to build a “flying data center” in the room? Apparently Europe and the United States are investigating this technology.
