There's a difference between a couple humans (n150W) and say JUST one H200 DGX (8700W).

- throwawaymaths 1y agoyes. in general as a rule of thumb your radiator size must scale proportionally to your solar panel size, as parent says: > The ISS's solar panels are MUCH smaller than the radiators.
- yreg 1y agoShouldn't the radiators be directly proportional to the area of the solar panels? (Since there's no one munching on food on board.)
- throwawaymaths 1y agoyes, exactly. they are going to be absolutely huge and add to launch and engineering costs.
- yreg 1y agoEvery part does by definition add to launch and engineering costs… The point is that heat radiation is not the main deal-breaker regarding this project as some comments in this subthread insinuate.
- throwawaymaths 1y agoThe point is: the power consumption requirements (quote: considering every satellite still has to dump heat and works just fine) for satellite X is not even close to racks of hyperscaler compute.
