"In orbit, heat can only be dissipated through radiation — there is no air to carry it away by convection — and downloading raw hyperspectral cubes requires wide-bandwidth ground station infrastructure that costs money and introduces latency. The logical solution is to process the data in orbit, sending only compressed results rather than raw imagery. That is exactly what Pixxel's most ambitious project intends to demonstrate."
"SpaceX has filed FCC plans for an orbital computing constellation of up to one million satellites."
"Google and Blue Origin are also targeting the space-based AI compute market."
