The system, designed with integrated #cyber #security models, will guarantee greater #speed and #flexibility in the processing and #sharing #information. The #SpaceCloud, which will be tested by creating a #digitaltwin of the architecture, will be able to store over 100 Terabytes of data generated on #Earth and in space on board each #constellation #satellite. It can perform processing with a power exceeding 250 TFLOPS (250 thousand billion operations per second) at single precision, adopting #advanced #algorithms which use #artificialintelligence, #machinelearning techniques, and #extensive #data analysis. They can also #communicate and #exchange data #autonomously with other #satellites. A cyber-secure supercomputer and #archive #system in space will guarantee users access to #strategicdata such as #communication, earth observation, and #navigationdata, anywhere, even in the most #remote #places, and at any time. Furthermore, a #SpaceCloud system significantly reduces data processing times, which is #processed directly in #orbit, providing #realtime #information, and thus facilitating #multidomain and #multination #operations. The transmission networks will be left free for other connections thanks to the only transfer of information of interest to Earth. In addition, storing data in orbit will also represent a useful #backup of the #Earth #centers, which are most exposed to natural disasters. The project sees Leonardo at the forefront with the participation of the joint ventures Telespazio (67% Leonardo, 33% Thales ) and Thales Alenia Space (67% Thales, 33% Leonardo). With a duration of 24 months, the study includes a first phase for #defining the architecture and a second phase that will end with developing a digital twin of the satellite with the #HPC and the #multi-#constellation satellite #terminal #demonstrator. The goal is to #simulate the different #application #scenarios in a #digital #environment. These tests will be carried out thanks to Leonardo's supercomputer, the #davinci1, among the first aerospace and defense HPCs in the world in terms of computing power and performance. The study will be a #precursor to a further experimental phase, which, if confirmed, will involve the #deployment in #orbit of a demonstrative #constellation of #satellites.
