We explore Project Suncatcher, a bold plan by Google to harvest solar power in dawn-dusk LEO to train massive AI models with modular satellites linked by free-space optical links. We break down why space-based solar can beat Earth energy costs, how tight satellite formations enable terabits-per-second links, radiation resilience, and the economic tipping point as launch prices fall. With a Planet Labs learning mission planned for 2027, could the future of AI research move off-world?
