Google is among the companies exploring the development of data centers in space. The company has launched its first space-bound data center aboard a Falcon 9 rocket operated by SpaceX on October 1st. This data center aims to test the viability of chip operation in the harsh environment of space. Google is waiting for SpaceX to accumulate significant experience with its Starship rocket before pursuing mass adoption of the technology. According to Google's estimates, SpaceX may offer a price of $200 per kilogram for Starship flights by 2035. Google has submitted an article for publication discussing orbital data centers, which outlines the means of accessing space for equipment and the costs of launches. To make the operation viable, Google is relying on SpaceX to reduce transportation costs with its rockets. Based on the learning curve demonstrated by SpaceX since Falcon 1, which allows for a 20% reduction in costs per year, Google estimates that by 2035, SpaceX could offer prices close to $200 per kilogram on Starship. However, achieving this would require SpaceX to conduct many launches to learn from each mission. According to Google's paper, this reduced price corresponds to nearly 1,800 Starship launches into space. This would mean nearly 180 flights per year over a decade for Starship, with at least 200 tons transported each time. However, Starship has so far never exceeded five flights per year during 2025. An incredible increase in the rocket's capacity will be needed in the future to see Google's orbital data centers become an effective infrastructure.
