Part 3/6:
As the data center demand evolves, so does the pursuit of innovative solutions to meet it. One exciting proposition is the deployment of satellites equipped with megawatt capabilities. The discussion highlights that achieving a terawatt output—equivalent to the energy production of approximately a thousand nuclear power plants—would require around a million satellites, each producing one megawatt.
Imagery emerges of these satellites, roughly the size of a quarter of a football field when unfurled. During transport via Starship rockets, these satellites would be compacted, allowing for the launch of 100 to 200 units at a time. This ambitious approach underscores the monumental task ahead in deploying enough of these satellites to meet future energy needs.
