Four Google TPUs head to orbit to test whether AI chips can shed heat in a vacuum

Google will fly four TPUs on a Planet-built Suncatcher satellite aboard SpaceX's Oct. 1 rideshare and track radiation and heat for a year. Lab tests have already covered launch loads and a five-year radiation dose, so cooling in a real vacuum is the least-proven part of the design.

Google's first Suncatcher satellite checks whether its TPUs can survive launch and radiation

Google will fly its first TPUs on SpaceX's Transporter-18 to find out whether chips that go through up to 10 g at launch keep working in radiation and heat. Passing clears only the first step toward its solar-powered satellite clusters, and their cost and networking are still untested.
