About this video

A solar panel in space generates up to 8 times more power than one on Earth. That’s the vision behind Project Suncatcher: Google’s moonshot to capture continuous sunlight and more efficiently power machine learning in space. In this video, we explore some of the monumental engineering questions that must be answered to make this idea a reality. 0:14 - How do we put machine learning in space? 0:30 - How much power can solar panels generate in orbit? 0:55 - How do TPU satellites communicate? 1:40 - What is the future of space-based compute?
