Google has successfully run an AI model aboard a satellite in orbit and received its first response: a short poem about space.
The test is part of Google's Project Suncatcher, an experiment exploring whether AI computing systems could one day operate in space.
The prototype satellite was launched on October 1, 2026, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Built with Planet Labs, it carries four of Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), although only one can operate at a time.
On October 30, Google announced that its satellite had successfully run the Gemma 4 AI model. Engineers sent it a prompt asking for a haiku about space, and the satellite transmitted the response back to Earth as it passed over Svalbard, Norway.
The poem began: “Blue marble below” and ended with “Starlight feeds my core.”
Google also tested other prompts and asked the system to report technical information about its onboard equipment.
The next tests will examine how the AI chips handle radiation and extreme temperature changes in orbit. Google plans to launch two interconnected satellites in 2027 to test whether they can work together.
