Story Brief

The growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing are driving a surge in global electricity demand. Hyperscale data centers already consume vast amounts of power and water, and utilities in many regions are struggling to keep pace. As governments grapple with grid constraints and rising energy costs, the idea of moving compute infrastructure to orbit is gaining traction.

Join SpaceNews and Star Catcher, in partnership with the Commercial Space Federation, for a conversation on the energy and computing needs driving the push toward orbital data centers, where there are gaps and where there are opportunities and what comes next in this fast-moving field.
