Artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented demand for computing power, energy, and digital infrastructure. As terrestrial data centers face increasing pressure from power constraints, land availability, regulation, and sustainability concerns, a new question is emerging: could part of the world’s future computing infrastructure move to space?

In Space Data Centers: Exploring the Next Frontier in Computing, Novaspace examines the technological, economic, and strategic foundations of orbital computing. This white paper explores the forces driving interest in space-based data centers, the architectures and use cases currently under consideration, the key industry players shaping the market, and the major challenges that still stand in the way of commercial viability.

From AI infrastructure and in-orbit processing to reusable launch systems, sovereign computing, and the future of distributed digital infrastructure, this report provides a comprehensive perspective on one of the most ambitious developments in the space economy.
