Lunar Edge Compute
“The computing capacity on the lunar surface necessary to support research, exploration and the development of a lunar presence does not currently exist.”
Data as a Service (DaaS)
In partnership with Tec Masters, Orbit Beyond plans to provide Data as a Service (DaaS) that brings compute and storage onto the lunar surface. The architecture will integrate lander flight computers with Tec Masters’ edge platform to ingest, preprocess, compress, prioritize, and cache instrument data at the source—reducing downlink demand and enabling faster insights. Policy-driven queues and store-and-forward buffering will keep data flowing through comms gaps, while standards-based products/APIs make it easy for payloads to plug in. The goal is more science per bit, lower latency from measurement to decision, and a scalable data backbone that supports multi-lunation operations across missions.
