Consider the following statements regarding space-based datacentres and orbital computing proposals: Statement I: Placing datacentres in orbit is being explored because space offers abundant solar energy for computing requirements. Statement II: Thermal management is not a major concern in orbit because radiative cooling in a vacuum is far more efficient than convection-based cooling on Earth. Statement III: Space-based datacentres are already economically viable because current satellite launch prices are lower than the cost of terrestrial datacentre infrastructure. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
