An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbit

The company's technology is based on research by Ekblaw, who founded the Space Exploration Initiative at MIT Media Lab in 2016, and led development of a self-assembling tile technology called Project TESSERAE. She has already completed a couple of tests with NASA in space, and another larger demonstration with 32 dinner plate-sized tiles is planned for next year on board the International Space Station. The new company seeks to commercialize Ekblaw's work.
