NVIDIA Vera Rubin - GPUs in Space! Data Centres Are Leaving The Earth.

Jensen Huang just announced NVIDIA is sending GPUs to space. But this isn't a concept for the future, it's an actual product roadmap for now. The Vera Rubin Space Module, announced at GTC 2026, is a space-hardened version of NVIDIA's Vera Rubin GPU architecture - the successor to Blackwell - designed for orbital data centres. It claims 25 times more AI compute than an H100 and will be deployed in satellites and orbit. Jensen called it a small teaser. In orbit, you get unlimited solar power with no batteries needed. And cooling - the thing that makes terrestrial data centres so expensive and water-hungry - is largely solved, in space there is no conduction or convection, the only mechanism is radiation. Deep space acts as an infinite heat sink. NVIDIA, Google, SpaceX, and Blue Origin are all racing toward orbital compute. Meanwhile Earth's power grids are still struggling with ChatGPT.
