马斯克不久前在瑞士达沃斯出席世界经济论坛2026年年会时，提到了在太空部署数据中心的设想。他表 示，制约AI部署的根本因素是电力，当前AI芯片的生产正呈指数级增长，但电力供应增长缓慢，阻碍 了AI数据中心训练和部署模型的效率，而由太阳能驱动的卫星数据中心可以解决这个问题。 马斯克认为，太空中太阳能发电的效率远高于地面，同时阳光照射不到之处温度极低有助于散热。"部 署AI费用最低的地方是在太空。"他说，在太空部署AI数据中心"两年、最多三年内就会成为现实"。 不过，路透社报道说，目前全球各国发射的在轨卫星共计约1.5万颗，太空探索技术公司提出的100万颗 的目标远超这一数字，因此实现这一量级部署的可能性并不大。当前"星链"系统约有9500颗卫星在轨， 而该公司在部署前提交的申请数目是4.2万颗卫星，所以在申请数目上留出余量也是这类公司的常规操 作。 另外，这个卫星发射目标能否实现很大程度上取决于太空探索技术公司正在研发的新一代可重复使用重 型运载火箭"星舰"。去年10月，"星舰"实施了第11次试飞，火箭第一级和第二级均按预定方案在预定海 域受控溅落。马斯克希望今年"星舰"可以投入使用，将第一批载荷运送入轨。 新 ...
