According to Vladimir Kozhevnikov, chief designer of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS), a supercomputer may be installed at the station in the future to process data received from satellite constellations. TASS writes about this.
It is stated that this will increase the efficiency of orbital constellations and increase the amount of useful information. In addition, the supercomputer will be able to provide computing resources to the satellites’ onboard computers. However, to realize this idea, laser communication technologies and quantum data transfer need to be developed.
existed before announced The idea of Russia creating its own orbital station. The cost of the project is estimated to be 609 billion rubles by 2032, of which 150 billion rubles are planned to be spent in the first three years.
