Containers at the Edge of Space
Edge computing’s beyond-real-world test brings new capabilities to the ISS – and will aid interplanetary travel iStock Data latency from Mars to Earth can range from 4 minutes to 24 – so it could take up to 48 minutes for a round trip response, depending on how close the planets are at any particular time. Relays between the International Space Station (ISS) and ground stations on Earth have a delay of less than a second, but considering that meteors enter earth’s atmosphere at 12 km/s to 72 km/s, much can happen in that time. That makes space a compelling use case for ...
