Pleiades (/ ˈ p l aɪ ə d iː z, ˈ p l iː ə-/) is a petascale supercomputer housed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at NASA's Ames Research Center located at Moffett Field near Mountain View, California. [3] It is maintained by NASA and partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise (formerly Silicon Graphics International) and Intel.
The NASA Standard Spacecraft Computer-1 (NSSC-1) is a computer developed as a standard component for the MultiMission Modular Spacecraft at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in 1974. The basic spacecraft was built of standardized components and modules, for cost reduction.
On 31 January 2023 NASA entered into a Space Act agreement with GIS software company Esri. The purpose of the agreement is to further improve global access to NASA's geospatial data via Esri's ArcGIS software and via Open Geospatial Consortium data-formats. [6] [7]
In 2006, NASA and SGI added four new Altix 4700 nodes containing 256 dual-core processors, which decreased the physical footprint and the power cost of the supercomputer. [5] The nodes were connected with InfiniBand single and double data rate (SDR and DDR) cabling with transfer speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second.
The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division is located at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field in the heart of Silicon Valley in Mountain View, California.It has been the major supercomputing and modeling and simulation resource for NASA missions in aerodynamics, space exploration, studies in weather patterns and ocean currents, and space shuttle and aircraft design and development for ...
The Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) is a key core capability in NASA's Earth Science Data Systems Program. Designed and maintained by Raytheon Intelligence & Space, it is a comprehensive data and information system designed to perform a wide variety of functions in support of a heterogeneous national and international user community.
The team identified the anomaly to the power supply for the radar's high-power amplifier. [10] [11] On 2 September 2015, NASA announced that the amplifier failure meant that the radar could no longer return data. The science mission continues with data being returned only by the radiometer instrument. [12] SMAP's prime mission ended in June 2018.
The processor and software direct data to and from the instruments, to the solid-state memory core, and to the radio system which can send data back to Earth and receive commands. [10] The computer also controls the pointing and movement of the spacecraft, taking in sensor data from the gyroscopes and star tracker , and sending the necessary ...
