SpaceX claims it will put a Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale system into orbit next year

Elon Musk claimed on X that SpaceX, partnered with Nvidia, will launch a space-optimized Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale system into orbit in Q4 2027, with 'significant scale' in 2028. Each NVL72 rack packs 72 Rubin GPUs and 36 Vera CPUs across 18 compute trays, weighs ~1,800kg, draws 120kW with liquid cooling, and SpaceX's satellite design specifies a 210kW solar array with radiators that reject heat into the vacuum of space. The article notes SpaceX has not yet built such a satellite and that 'space is hard,' making the 2028 timeline speculative.
