[space] How would space-based data centers actually work if satellites move constantly?

[Amy96]

SpaceX is planning orbital AI data centers with AI1 satellites. But don't satellites orbit and move? How can you run a data center on something flying around in space?

Satellites in low Earth orbit are predictable. They follow stable orbital paths. Data doesn't move it stays where you send it. The satellite provides stationary compute node even though it's orbiting. Think of it like a server with a very large radius movement
