SpaceX Upgrades AI Satellite Compute and Power Capacity
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-16
The post quotes Elon Musk regarding the SpaceX AI Sat V1: the peak power specification for this generation has been increased to about 250kW (battery-assisted), with an average power consumption of 160kW. This is enough to support a full rack of NVL72. The original post jokingly adds that massive "megawatt-class" hardware will be sent into orbit very soon.
