AWS CEO Matt Garman says launch capacity, cooling and the cost of maintaining equipment in orbit stand in the way of operating space data centers at scale. He also expects AWS to face a computing capacity shortfall over the next two years, despite Amazon’s continued GPU deployments.
Coverage of the same occurrence shares a node; subsequent developments have their own nodes.
AWS CEO Matt Garman says space data centers are unlikely to be economically feasible or practical in the next decade or two. He cites infrequent, expensive launches and heavy GPU equipment, alongside challenges with power, heat dissipation, radiation and servicing. This is his assessment, not a confirmed timeline.
