Google is sending an AI satellite into space next week

Google plans to launch a satellite carrying AI chips on October 1 to test how the hardware handles spaceflight and conditions in orbit. The mission is an early step in Project Suncatcher, which could eventually place AI computing satellites in space.

谷歌计划于 10 月 1 日发射一颗搭载 AI 芯片的卫星，测试硬件能否承受发射过程及轨道环境。这是“逐日者计划”的早期试验；该计划未来可能将用于 AI 计算的卫星送入太空。
