Self-assembling data centers in space are becoming reality as Rendezvous Robotics partners with Starcloud — Elon Musk chimes in that 'SpaceX will be doing this'

Rendezvous Robotics partners with Starcloud to explore self-assembling data centers in space, with Elon Musk indicating SpaceX's involvement. Starcloud plans to launch an AI-equipped satellite with an Nvidia H100 GPU and eventually construct a 5-gigawatt data center in space. Rendezvous Robotics offers a tile-based autonomous module system that can self-assemble in space, eliminating the need for traditional assembly methods. The collaboration aims to tailor the technology for the massive data center, which will feature super-large solar and cooling panels. This innovative approach addresses the challenges of building and operating data centers in space, leveraging AI and autonomous assembly techniques.
