space data center

A **space data center** is a data storage and processing facility located in outer space or designed to support space-based systems. It uses satellites or other orbital infrastructure to collect, process, and distribute data—often from space sensors, communication systems, or remote sensing platforms. The aim is to reduce data transmission times to Earth, improve resiliency by decentralizing computing resources, and leverage the unique conditions of space (such as low temperatures and isolation) for efficient data operations.
