NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged the long-term potential of orbital computing in a podcast. He stated that processing data directly in space, rather than transmitting it back to Earth, is a logical direction for development. However, he also pointed out the challenges of establishing AI data centers in space, with cooling being one of the biggest hurdles. Huang explained that space cooling can only rely on radiative heat dissipation, which requires large-area heat dissipation devices, resulting in complex and costly systems. Currently, NVIDIA has deployed CUDA-based systems on satellites for imaging and AI processing.
