Cowboy Space has raised $275 million to address the rocket shortage problem for deploying space-based data centers, as demand for AI compute drives interest in orbital computing infrastructure. The funding will help develop solutions to overcome the current limitations in rocket availability and high launch costs that are hindering the deployment of space data centers.
Background
The growing demand for AI computing power is pushing companies to explore unconventional locations for data centers, including space, but current rocket launch capabilities present a significant bottleneck.
