There's been a lot of discussion on the Interwebs about whether SpaceX's AI satellites are a) viable in an engineering sense, and b) economical. This project does not attempt to answer b) at all, but does try to have a basic look at a): given the FCC filing of where the satellites will be orbiting, what kind of impact will the cosmic environment there have on the specific compute tasks we expect them to be performing (namely, transformer inference)?

Full disclosure: the project was my idea, and I wrote the basic initial design draft, but Claude did all the rest. I definitely learned some things though. Feedback would be very welcome, in particular ideas about what the "software architecture mitigations" SpaceX might try.
