Summary Report
Project Suncatcher's prototype satellite ran Gemma 4 on a TPU in orbit and returned its first response, a haiku.
- 01. Command sent to orbit, TPU booted, prompt run, response returned
- 02. Built with Planet, launched October 1; twin laser-linked satellites planned for 2027
Google's Project Suncatcher prototype satellite has received a command from the ground, booted up its TPU, run a prompt and sent a complete response back to Earth: a haiku. The model was Gemma 4 on a data-centre-class chip. The satellite was built with Planet and launched on a SpaceX rideshare on October 1. Next the team will test how the chips cope with heat and radiation, with twin laser-linked satellites planned for 2027.
