The team had already powered the host and TPU trays and run early machine-learning tests. The next phase will test reliability under orbital thermal stress and radiation before a planned two-satellite experiment in 2027.</p><p>Recommendation: WATCH</p><p>Sources: <a href="https://blog.google/technology/research/project-suncatcher-first-ai-response-space/">Project Suncatcher first AI response in space</a></p>
