SpaceX reveals Starmind constellation vision: ~10-sat clusters with 10 Tbps links to run AI in orbit
tctjr · x · 2026-10-15
SpaceX has released a concept look at its envisioned million-satellite 'Starmind' constellation for in-orbit AI compute (dots not to scale).
- VP Michael Nicolls: satellites must operate in tight formations to get enough coherent compute to run AI models efficiently.
- Architecture: clusters of 10 satellites connected by 10 terabits of inter-satellite bandwidth, interlinked to the broader constellation — turning orbit into distributed AI infrastructure.
