It\u2019s all part of the\u00a0Horizon Europe research program and is being led by Thales Alenia Space, a collaboration between\u00a0European aerospace and defense companies Thales and Leonardo.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re long used to storing important data in the cloud, like that original picture your friend sent where it looks like he\u2019s holding up the\u00a0Leaning Tower of Pisa. But all that data means mainframes and servers and massive datacenters. They\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently causing a big impact on energy consumption, according to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thalesgroup.com\/en\/global\/activities\/space\">Thales Alenia Space<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So the impetus here is to explore heaving those datacenters into space where they can be powered by solar energy and use optical communications that links the data back to us on Earth (assuming people want to see that data again).<\/p>\n<p>Now, some obvious \u201cWait a second\u201d reactions and objections may be occurring here. Sustained. A company concerned with the carbon footprint of datacenters is going to solve that issue by building rockets and launching those datacenters into space? Isn\u2019t that like when world leaders take private jets to a\u00a0CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions summit?<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019re looking into that, and assessing if the construction and launch of the space infrastructure justifies the environmental objective of the project.<\/p>\n<p>The other primary concern is: What if something breaks? It\u2019s difficult enough to get somebody to fix the photocopier in the office, and that might be a tad harder when they have to head to space to repair a storage array (\u201cWill be there between 12:30 and 6:30\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps\u00a0Thales Alenia Space watched the movie <em>Moon<\/em> and is imagining the space datacenter being manned and repaired by an endless supply of Sam Rockwell clones.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, they\u2019ll figure all that out. It\u2019s difficult to get a good cup of coffee at a datacenter anyway, so maybe it\u2019s better to put them in space instead of taking up valuable Earth real estate.<\/p>\n<p>One wonders what sound will be made when you upload a file to space. It\u2019ll probably be a little louder than emptying your desktop recycle bin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
