What is an "Orbital Data Center"?StarCloud launched satellite modules equipped with Nvidia's radiation-hardened aerospace-grade GPUs, completing AI model training (not just inference) onboard. Previously, training was thought to require massive power and cooling, making orbital operations nearly unthinkable — this breakthrough shatters that stereotype.2. Why move to space?Compelling economic and physical logic addresses two 2025 AI bottlenecks:a. Cooling: Ground data centers consume vast water/electricity to cool chips. Space’s ambient −270°C provides abundant "free" cooling (though thermal engineering remains challenging).b. Energy: Unobstructed solar in low-Earth orbit enables near 24/7 power with higher intensity, offering greener computing.Deeper insight: Much AI data (weather, surveillance, comms) originates from satellites. Instead of bandwidth-limited downlinks for raw data, space-based training transmits only processed models — extending edge computing to orbit.Additionally, space radiation cripples standard chips; Nvidia’s aerospace GPUs demonstrate material science and packaging advances, widening its lead.$T-Rex 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF(NVDX.US)$GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF(NVDL.US)" datetime: "2025-12-11T00:27:26.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/37048338.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/37048338.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/37048338.md) author: "[Daniel mahade](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/16394686.md)" --- > Supported Languages: [简体中文](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/37048338.md) | [繁體中文](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/37048338.md) # $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)-backed startup StarCloud successf… ### Related Stocks - [NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [Direxion Daily Semicondct Bear 3X ETF (SOXS.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXS.US.md) - [T-REX 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [XL2CSOPNVDA (07788.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [XI2CSOPNVDA (07388.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NVDY.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [Direxion Daily NVDA Bear 1X ETF (NVDD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [T-REX 2X Inverse NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDQ.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md)
