Please Join the Speech by Dr. Thomas Coughlin, Past President, IEEE. Data Storage in Outer Space: Overcoming the Obstacles July 14th, 6pm – 7 PM After a 50-year hiatus, multiple countries are racing to be the first to return to the Moon. Lower launch costs are enabling more satellites to be put into low earth orbit, and data centers in space and on the moon are being planned. In addition, preparations are afoot for harvesting and mining the moon and asteroids, as well as for colonizing Mars. It appears that we are on the brink of a new industrial revolution with development beyond our planet, and reliable data storage and processing will be key requirements to make all of this the new reality. However, these harsh environments present obstacles that must be overcome for the ambitious plans to become reality. In this talk, Dr. Tom Coughlin will discuss many of the requirements for this new revolution, and some of the technologies that look to make this possible. Speaker .
