Huang Renxun discusses space data centers: Processing data directly in space is logical, and cooling is one of the biggest challenges.

NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun acknowledged the long-term potential of orbital computing in a podcast. Huang Renxun stated that processing data directly in space is the logical next step. At the same time, he also hinted that establishing AI data centers in space may be more difficult than imagined, pointing out that cooling is one of the biggest challenges. "Space cooling can only use radiation heat dissipation," Huang Renxun said. "This method requires a very large area of heat dissipation devices, which makes the system complex and costly." He stated that the company has deployed CUDA-based systems on satellites for imaging and AI processing tasks.
