Data Centres in Space

ASCEND is a feasibility study led by Thales Alenia Space, for the European Commission as part of Horizon Europe programs. Study objectives are to demonstrate the technical feasibility and the environmental benefits to deploy large capacity data centre in space. Space environment is offering high solar illumination position and cold space view, that would benefits to data centres application.

Space Data centres are foreseen as a promising alternative to reduce environmental footprint and energy consumption of digital application on earth.

ASCEND preliminary conclusion drives to a paradigm change for space application with a hyper-structure of several thousands of tons deployed and hundreds of launch per year strategy.
