Lonestar® is building on the success of our first prototype types and test missions to launch a series of ever increasingly capable multi-petabyte data storage spacecraft to orbit Earth's largest satellite, our Moon.
OUR NEXT MISSION TO THE MOON
Freedom
Our next mission to the Moon is our Freedom Payload scheduled to launch with Intuitive Machines later this year. It will be the first physical data center flown off planet. It is serving a host of data storage and edge processing customers, each in their own way, expanding the art of the possible.
OUR FIRST MISSION TO THE MOON
Independence
Independence was the first test flight for our data center concept to the Moon. A software defined data center, Independence successfully tested data storage, data refresh and data restore from Cislunar space en route to the Moon February 19th 2024, and again from the surface of the Moon on the 27th of February 2024, making Lonestar the first company in history to provide a commercial service from the Moon.
OUR FIRST DATA CENTER IN SPACE
Edge
Lonestar successfully tested the world’s first software defined data center on the International Space Station (ISS) in December 2021 and again in April 2022. Working with its contractor, Redwire, and partners at Canonical (creators of Ubuntu), the Ark Mission Foundation, and world renowned digital artist, Cecile Waagner Falkenstrom, Lonestar repurposed an existing computer on the ISS to successfully deliver the first use of a Distributed Ledger (block chain), machine learning (an adversarial art network and cryptocurrency) and data storage.
