The New York Times Business reports that researchers at Caltech and Sophia Space, a start-up, have developed a technology aimed at preventing chips and other computer equipment from overheating in orbit.

The approach centers on using solar power to cool the computing hardware onboard spacecraft.

According to the report, the cooling system could help manage thermal challenges for satellite equipment as missions rely more heavily on processing power while operating in space.
