In its latest mission, NASA has taken to the internet giant Amazon for their cloud Amazon Web Services (AWS) to capture and store images collected from the Mars rover ‘Curiosity’ and their Mars Science Laboratory missions.
NASA’s JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) has fully embraced the cloud for all its large scale data processing. Khawaja Shams, manager for data services at JPL stated that “at this point, JPL's data centers are filled to capacity, so we're looking for ways to cost effectively expand the computational horsepower that we have at our disposal,” he added that “Cloud computing is giving us that opportunity”
NASA uses the AWS cloud to run the website ‘mars.jpl.nasa.gov’, enabling JPL to rapidly send developments, videos and images to the public.
