Up, up, and away. 🚀
Today, in partnership with @planet, we launched a prototype satellite carrying four TPUs into orbit on @SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This launch is the first step of Project Suncatcher, our long-term research moonshot to see whether we can one day host scalable machine learning infrastructure in space.
Over the coming weeks, we'll gather in-orbit data on how our TPUs handle the physical stress, radiation, and thermal extremes of space. Whatever we learn, we'll use it to refine our future designs.

Earlier this year, we partnered with @xprize and Range Media Partners to launch the Future Vision XPRIZE, a global competition for films that show a future where technology is both hopeful and helpful. Last week, independent filmmaker Jeff Synthesized was awarded the grand prize for The Gifted, a personal story about a 11-year-old boy who uses code to recreate his late mother’s voice and essence, reflecting the filmmaker’s belief that technology’s greatest promise lies in empathy and human connection.
Chosen from more than 2,500 entries worldwide, the winning project received feature production funding in addition to technical support through Google’s 100 ZEROS initiative to help bring this story to the big screen.

We’re sending TPUs to space (yes, really).
After years of research, we’re launching a satellite to evaluate if and how Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) hold up in orbit.
The test mission, as part of our latest moonshot — Project Suncatcher — is designed to gather data exploring how we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space.

Museum Memory
A game from designer Carol Mertz, Museum Memory places you inside a virtual museum gallery to test your observational skills. To play the game, you first observe how the paintings are hung in the exhibition and memorize the placement of each work of art. Once time is up, the paintings are scrambled, and you have to restore the exhibition. It’s a fun, easy way to train your memory — and discover works of art along the way.
