MTS(@MTSlive):Edge Aerospace CEO @imperator_jarek on why the abundant unlimited solar power claim for orbital data centers is misleading: "This is misleading. The exposure to continuous energy coming from the sun is only on one type of orbit that we call sun synchronous orbit, where you have 98% of time access to sun exposure." "For different orbits, you don't have that. You need to carry the batteries in your spacecraft to store some of the power you're collecting to have continuous working, or you would need to decrease your power consumption on the spacecraft." "So most of the satellites that we will see or space data centers will be on this orbit, and this orbit is the only one applicable towards that."
