## Summary

Sundar Pichai says Google's prototype satellite for Project Suncatcher received a command in orbit, booted its TPU, ran a prompt, and returned a complete response to Earth. The response was a haiku, which he calls the project's first 'hello world' milestone. The post follows the satellite's launch a few weeks earlier.
