HPE is currently working with NASA to launch a supercomputer into orbit to see how long it lasts so it can be used in deep space travels. Basically, they want to use the massive compute capabilities to monitor a number of data points, run applications, and also run analytics to figure out issues on board the spacecraft. The reasoning behind this is to try to fight events in space and not have to rely on ground based computers to do so. I'm actually surprised this hasn't already been done and I can't wait to see how it works out.
As space missions get more advanced, there is a growing need for sophisticated onboard computing resources capable of functioning in the harsh conditions of space. By achieving one teraFLOP in space, HPE’s Spaceborne Computer has shown that astronauts now have access to high performance computing systems that can help them solve any mission critical scenarios in space.
