KIOXIA SSDs soar to new heights aboard NG-20 mission to International Space Station (ISS)
In a significant advancement for space technology, KIOXIA solid-state drives (SSDs) are now onboard the NG-20 mission rocket, accompanying the updated HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 to the International Space Station (ISS). This partnership marks a new era for scientific research in space, leveraging robust flash storage from KIOXIA in the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, a product of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
The HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, a marvel of modern technology, is designed to bring edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities directly to the ISS. By integrating commercial off-the-shelf technology, this system is set to revolutionize computing power in space, reducing dependency on Earth-bound communications. Its high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities are primed for a multitude of tasks, from real-time image processing and deep learning to extensive scientific simulations.
