Cloud computing in space

Cloud computing in space involves using satellites and other space-based assets to deliver digital services, data storage, and computing power beyond Earth. Instead of relying solely on ground-based servers, space-based cloud platforms can process and transmit data from remote locations, such as deep-sea or industrial sites, in real time. This enables faster, more reliable access to information, supports applications like global communication, weather monitoring, and space research, and reduces the need for extensive ground infrastructure. Essentially, space cloud computing extends the benefits of cloud technology—scalability, accessibility, and efficiency—to the extraterrestrial or remote environments.
