A new orbital data center being sent to the International Space Station (ISS) provided by the ISS National Lab<\/a> will enhance space-based computing assets, considering data storage and real-time processing.<\/p>\n The project is in partnership with Axiom Space and Red Hat<\/a>, and employs Red Hat Device Edge to provide in-orbit computing power. The system will be designed to survive the rigors of space, with self-healing and damage-tolerant capabilities.<\/p>\n \u201cThis technology would enable real-time processing of data in proximity to where it is generated, with less reliance on downlink bandwidth of which there is little to spare in space,\u201d said Tony James, chief architect of science and space at Red Hat. \u201cIt might also facilitate time-sensitive decision making and a little bit of independence. With experiments happening in space and decisions that need to be made, you don\u2019t have to go for hours or days waiting for the information to come from Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n Open-source software was deployed to construct the data center, enabling global collaboration and innovation.<\/p>\n Possible applications of space edge computing<\/a> could include astronaut health monitoring, predictive AI and increased energy efficiency in terrestrial and aerospace data centers.<\/p>\n The data center will be a part of SpaceX\u2019s 33rd commercial resupply mission for NASA. The ISS National Lab is responsible for stimulating non-NASA research, science, technology, and education that contribute to U.S. leadership in space, economic growth, and the amount of science available to the community.<\/p>\n \n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArticle Topics<\/p>\n Axiom Space<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 ISS<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 orbital data center<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 Red Hat<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 Space Edge Computing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new orbital data center being sent to the International Space Station (ISS) provided by the ISS National…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[64,63,69864,257,20812,69865,24711,59798,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-94553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-axiom-space","11":"tag-computing","12":"tag-iss","13":"tag-orbital-data-center","14":"tag-red-hat","15":"tag-space-edge-computing","16":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
