Nvidia announced the Vera Rubin Space Module at GTC 2026, aimed at powering orbital data centers and geospatial intelligence. The module promises up to 25 times the AI computing power of the previous H100 model.

Starcloud has previously launched an Nvidia H100 processor in space, marking a significant milestone. Nvidia's partnerships include plans for solar-powered data centers, although technical challenges such as cooling and radiation exposure remain.

The company also highlighted its RTX Pro 6000 GPU, which processes geospatial data significantly faster than traditional systems. The push for space-based data centers reflects broader industry interest, with major players like Google and SpaceX exploring similar ventures.
