Spacebilt and Phison to send powerful data server to ISS, SpaceNews, 2024-04-08.

• Spacebilt announced an agreement with Phison to qualify a powerful data server on the International Space Station.
• When the Large in Space Server (LiSS) launches in 2025, it will be one of the most powerful data server in orbit. Liss will have “100 terabytes plus of data storage,” Dennis Wingo, Spacebilt chief technology officer told SpaceNews. “We are qualifying it so we can launch petabyte servers in the future.”
• LiSS is headed to an external platform on the Japanese Kibo module for six months of qualification testing. The server includes Microchip Technology’s Polarfire field-programmable gate array, an Nvidia Jetson computer designed for artificial intelligence applications and a Phison X1 solid-state drive.
• In 2022, Santa Clara-based Spacebilt, formerly called Skycorp, flew a prototype Microchip Polarfire RISC-V Linux-based avionics package and data server on ISS.
• In 2024, Spacebilt plans to send a powerful data server to the moon with a commercial customer. That mission includes an Armas radiation sensor and a Phison M.2 solid-state drive.
