Washington, Sept 14,2026: US entrepreneur Elon Musk believes that his company SpaceX will launch artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputers NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 into orbit as early as next year.
“I am highly confident that SpaceX will be launching Nvidia VR NLV72 AI computers in space next year,” Musk said on X.
Media previously reported on Musk’s plans to launch next-generation satellites that would function as orbital data centres.
SpaceX (SPCX) is accelerating its most ambitious infrastructure bet beyond Earth. Elon Musk confirmed on Aug. 24 that SpaceX and Nvidia had designed a space-optimized system for the company’s first Starmind AI satellite, targeted for launch in late 2027.
Nvidia (NVDA) separately said the satellite will extend the same accelerated-computing architecture used in terrestrial AI factories into orbit. The timing is significant because SpaceX only began trading in June 2026.
