Lower emissions and reinforced digital sovereignty: the plan for datacentres in space
● In late June 2024, Thales Alenia Space unveiled the results of the Ascend feasibility study on the deployment of datacentres in outer space.
● The study compared the environmental impact of terrestrial and orbital datacentres and sought to validate the technical feasibility of such a project.
● According to Damien Dumestier, the end-to-end systems architect who supervised the study for Thales Alenia Space, if Europe succeeds in designing a launcher that is ten times less emissive over its entire lifecycle, the first orbiting datacentre could be deployed by 2050.
