STELLAR technology / The physics of orbital data centers
Thermal & Power
Compute in orbit only works when power generation, heat rejection, radiator area, duty cycles, and safe modes are designed as one system.

01 / design principle
The operating principle
STELLAR treats thermal and power limits as first-order product constraints, not afterthoughts. The workload model must obey the spacecraft.
Principle 1
Solar power windows
Payload scheduling follows generation, eclipse behavior, battery state, and mission reserve rules.
Principle 2
Radiator heat rejection
Compute output is translated into heat paths, radiator sizing, and throttle boundaries.
Principle 3
Safe-mode behavior
The system degrades predictably when thermal or power margins narrow.

STELLAR technology is not presented as a one-off feature list. Every subsystem maps to a mission gate and a harder infrastructure capability.
