SpaceX has just officially unveiled its AI1 satellite, the first generation of its AI satellite. Overall Specs: • 150 kW peak compute payload • 120 kW average compute payload • 70 kW per ton • Compute provider interchangeable Dimensions: • Wingspan: 70 meters • Deployed mal System: • 110 m² deployable liquid radiator • Redundant pumping loops • Integrated micrometeoroid shielding • Deployable liquid radiators Solar Power System: • 150 kW solar array • 250 W/m² • SpaceX-manufactured solar technology from Bastrop, Texas Architecture: • Centralized compute module • Large deployable solar arrays • Deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system • AI-focused compute satellite design ("AI1 satellite") Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."
