Data centers in space? This Georgia startup says it’s not science fiction.

Ajc.com and 1 more

Orbital data centers in low Earth orbit are pitched as a power-and-cooling solution for AI workloads, leveraging constant solar power and heat radiated into space to overcome terrestrial constraints.
Orbital aims to validate sustained GPU operation in orbit with Orbital-1, a SpaceX Falcon 9 mission slated for April 2027, testing inference workloads across a satellite network.
Energy economics in space could dramatically reduce marginal power costs, with sun-powered satellites offering near-zero energy costs aside from capital and launch expenses.
Orbital stresses resilience through distributed satellite constellations to deter targeted attacks and comply with Outer Space Treaty norms, reducing single-point failure risk.
Orbital plans a robotic manufacturing line (Factory-1) in Los Angeles to scale satellite production alongside its test mission.
Orbital anticipates GPU-era refresh cycles similar to terrestrial data centers, arguing to launch new satellites with current hardware every 5–7 years as GPUs become obsolete.
The thermal management challenge in vacuum drives core engineering work, as sun-facing sides heat intensely while shaded sides drop to near 3 Kelvin.
Orbital frames its business around AI inference workloads rather than training, leveraging parallelizable tasks across a satellite network to optimize efficiency.
Regulatory and safety considerations loom large as space-based data centers attract local scrutiny and demand clear governance frameworks.
The broader context shows mounting appetite for space-based AI infrastructure as terrestrial permitting tightens and energy costs rise.

Bulbous 15x fan PC case side panel dubbed the ‘Superdome’ lowers temps by 20 degrees — $600 worth of Noctua fans arrayed in 3D-printed structure

Tomshardware.com and 2 more

A YouTuber built a giant 15-fan Superdome side panel for a PC, achieving a 20°C drop in CPU temperature during gaming compared with a standard glass panel.
Noctua supplied 15 high-velocity 120 mm fans and 3D printing filament, reducing project cost by about $600 for the creator.
The dome uses five fans on top and nine around the base, creating an intake-focused airflow that pressurizes the PC interior.
The project files are shared on Thingiverse, enabling others with compatible cases to replicate the Superdome.
Battlefield 6 served as the test game, demonstrating real-world cooling benefits of the Superdome with notable CPU temperature reduction.
The Superdome is described as quiet, delivering a noticeable breeze without producing loud noise during operation.
Creator James (Major Hardware) ties the Superdome to a broader Noctua-inspired design lineage, referencing the Fanhattan Project.
The project is framed as sponsor-supported, practical 3D-printed cooling showcase rather than a conventional product.
James notes potential radiator and airflow trade-offs, acknowledging the rig isn’t yet optimally efficient but still yields notable thermal benefits.
The article situates the Superdome within a trend of creative, large-scale cooling experiments and 3D-printed airflow projects in PC building.
