HPE News, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
Mission goal is to build on previous success and provide the international scientific community access to an expanded scope of space-based edge computing, AI and machine learning capabilities
HPE announced it has sent a third iteration of the HPE Spaceborne Computer, built from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, to the International Space Station (ISS) via a Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services mission, contracted by NASA, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The goal of HPE Spaceborne Computer-2's latest trip is to build upon the system's previous success while expanding the scope and complexity of data center-level processing and high performance computing (HPC) that can be done in space, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads.
