In Russia, they offered to send data centers into space Scientists from the Russian Bauman Moscow State Technical University have made a proposal to place large data centers, as well as various kinds of supercomputers in outer space, which will significantly reduce the cost of electricity to ensure their operation.
In addition, this solution will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions on Earth.
Presumably, we are talking about promising quantum supercomputers operating in an ultra-low temperature environment, and such complexes in orbit include solar panels, power and heat removal systems, as well as the equipment itself that processes large amounts of information and telecom equipment designed for high-speed data exchange between the complex itself and ground stations. In addition, several such complexes will be able to exchange information among themselves, forming a kind of "cosmic cloud". At the same time, the desired location for their placement is called the Lagrange point L1, in which the Earth does not block the Sun and the onboard solar panels will be able to function without interruption. At the current time, the authors of the project are preparing its justification, both technical and economic, as well as work on the business planning of the program. The key problem of the proposed solution may be the high cost of delivering the complexes into orbit, which will negate all the benefits of using energy generated by solar panels in operation.
