Knowledge beyond our planet: space-based data centresSpace is changing, and the number of actors operating in orbit is increasing. Meanwhile, the amount of data collected by satellites is increasing as well. This data-treasure is priceless, supporting human and robotic exploration of space, helping us to take care of our planet as well as to unveil the most distant secrets of the Universe. However, one of the main challenges of nowadays space activities is downloading data from space to Earth. IBM and KP Labs together with ESA is forecasting the future of technology by imagining space-based data centres.

From Concordia to the MoonConcordia is a research station in Antarctica that places you farther away from humankind than even the International Space Station. Every year, ESA sponsors a medical doctor to spend a year, or "winterover," at Concordia station. This year, our medical doctor is Jessica Kehala Studer, who is seen in this picture gazing at the Moon and the vast expanse of Antarctica. Around May, the Sun dips below the horizon for the last time, and the crew experiences four months of total darkness, with temperatures dropping to –80°C in winter.

Designing Space Exploration With the Human in MindIMAGE
nasa.gov• Jul 23, 2024• 1 min read
Designing Space Exploration With the Human in MindWhen designing a new spacecraft or exploration vehicle, there is intense focus on its technical performance. Do its systems perform as expected? What kind of power does it need? Will it safely reach its destination? Equally important, however, is whether that vehicle also works for the humans inside. Can astronauts easily reach critical controls? Do […]
