Muruganandham says about half of that revenue will come from data downlink Earth Observation (EO), with the next biggest chunk from satcom.<\/p>\n<p>NSR forecasts that cloud-based services in the EO market over the next decade represents a $10 billion opportunity. The other two markets, big data analytics and orbital infrastructure, whether providing storage or edge computing solutions in space, are still emerging.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Web Services (AWS) is working to make data from space more accessible by leveraging its cloud capabilities. Clint Crosier, director of AWS Aerospace and Satellite Solutions division, said during SATELLITE 2021\u2019s Future Space Digital Forum in July that the industry\u2019s move toward a combined \u2018space-cloud nexus\u2019 is akin to \u201ca new industry within the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are entering an age where the biggest challenge for satellite customers will be effectively collecting, formatting, analyzing, processing and distributing these massive volumes of data,\u201d Crosier tells Via Satellite in an interview. \u201cWe believe advances in space will continue to be driven largely by innovation and best practices from the commercial space industry, which will largely be driven by cloud technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a further sign of the cloud\u2019s growing role in space, Microsoft became the first cloud customer for SES\u2019s next-generation MEO system \u2013 O3b mPOWER \u2013 set to launch later this year. Microsoft will buy managed services from SES for Azure and will also support Microsoft\u2019s Azure Orbital ground station solutions business. SES is co-locating four O3b mPOWER ground stations at or near Azure data centers.<\/p>\n<p>SES CEO Steve Collar said in a press briefing on Aug. 17 that SES\u2019s placement of gateways near Microsoft\u2019s largest data centers will ensure its customers \u201care only ever one short hop away from the cloud.\u201d Microsoft, in turn, will access the MEO network to improve the resiliency and redundancy of the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs more critical workloads move to the cloud, Microsoft will leverage our MEO constellations \u2014 both current and upcoming \u2014 to deliver additional network diversity, service resiliency and gigabit connectivity at its core network,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s All About the End User Experience <\/h3>\n<p>The days of satellite providers relying solely on a wholesale connectivity model are becoming obsolete in a cloud-driven market, says Maddison Long, vice president of Products for CloudOps. Such a model keeps satellite players too far removed from the end user. Creating better customer experiences will drive this future \u2013 an area that cloud companies excel at. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s made the cloud providers successful will also make the satellite providers successful and that is their relentless focus on the end user experience,\u201d says Long. \u201cBoth as an individual consumer and as a business, you\u2019re really dependent on both the connectivity and the cloud experience working in tandem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df968e5;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df968e5 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df968e6').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df968e6'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>And that means engaging customers directly and building massive developer ecosystems that know how to build applications on their clouds. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt AWS, 90 percent of what we do is driven by our customers telling us what matters most to them,\u201d says Crosier. \u201cThe other 10 percent is us helping them imagine the art of the possible and innovating on their behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For AWS customers, that means accessing their data anywhere, whether at ground stations, operations centers, on satellites, or in space, and converting that data into analysis-ready and actionable information. With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI\/ML), users can transform and analyze vast amounts of data very quickly, says Crosier, who is seeing increasing demand for virtual mission operations, edge computing, image processing, intelligence analytics, and secure satellite connectivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Edge Computing is Key<\/h3>\n<p>Many innovators see edge computing \u2013 defined as bringing computing and data storage closer to the sources of data to improve response times and save bandwidth \u2013 as key to creating richer user experiences while handling the growing data processing demands coming from new constellations in LEO and MEO. Gartner predicts by 2022 that about 75 percent of all will need analysis and action at the edge, and by 2028, edge computing is expected to be an $800 billion market opportunity. <\/p>\n<p>Naeem Altaf, IBM distinguished engineer and CTO of Space Tech for IBM Cloud, asserts, \u201cAt the end of the day it\u2019s all about data. Data has gravity \u2013 wherever it sits, it\u2019s hard to move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Altaf, the ultimate edge is in the orbit of the satellite itself. \u201cIf you are doing a lot of imaging and know how to minimize the movement of raw data, you can only send the data that is actionable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that will require the next generation of computing power on satellites, Altaf emphasizes. \u201cIf we can get more computing power on the satellite, the more work you can do right there,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>The explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud requirements in LEO has also highlighted the need for more agile and intelligent smallsat constellations capable of serving different sensing, imaging, and other data-gathering applications simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Gatens, co-founder and CEO of LEOcloud, a cloud infrastructure and service provider, agreed. \u201cData in motion results in latency and is expensive. Edge computing will drive competitive and operational advantages by moving from a centralized architecture where data is being backhauled at high volumes at significant cost and latency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df96f5b;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df96f5b = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df96f5c').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df96f5c'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Ecosystem of Partners Poised to Deliver Edge Services<\/h3>\n<p>LEOcloud\u2019s planned Space Edge LEO services embrace a hybrid cloud option to deliver edge computing as close as possible to the sources and users of the data. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe\u2019re about bringing public cloud services to space,\u201d says Gatens, referring to services provided by public cloud providers whether it be IBM, AWS, Google, or Microsoft. His company has partnered with Leaf Space of Europe and Red Hat, IBM\u2019s open-source software subsidiary, to build out its service. Early users include customers in the oil and gas and government sectors. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real path forward is enabling public cloud services as they exist today on Earth in space, so that they simply are another hybrid cloud option to a customer and end user,\u201d Gatens says.<\/p>\n<p>IBM is working with LEOcloud as it seeks to bring lowest-latency cloud services to the space edge and ultimately to LEO. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn ecosystem of partners is finding it mutually beneficial to collaborate and deliver cloud capabilities,\u201d says Gatens. \u201cGround station providers want to work with us because we\u2019re bringing them customers. We\u2019re bringing demand for their services. Satellite providers are the same. With cloud service providers we enable them to have an edge compute presence at all their ground station endpoints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gatens says a key unknown facing the industry is the scope of integration that providers will embrace. One of LEOcloud\u2019s partners, Leaf Space, is a European ground station network provider currently leveraging Google Cloud as its main cloud provider.   <\/p>\n<p>Giovanni Pandolfi Bortoletto, Leaf Space\u2019s co-founder and chief strategy officer, says satellite operators are starting to use cloud services for commercial purposes. He notes that half of Leaf Space\u2019s capacity is going to IoT application services, including Earth Observation, while the other half supports general access.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2014, Leaf Space\u2019s mission is to simplify space access with global infrastructure that satellite operators can use as a service.  Currently the company operates a network of 10 Ground Station as a Service stations across Europe and New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are cloud-provider agnostic,\u201d says Pandolfi, who attributes the shift to cloud to the increasing number of small satellite providers who see the value of cloud since they lack a built-out infrastructure. In contrast, \u201cspace agencies or more institutional operators which have made significant infrastructure investments in data centers,\u201d he says. \u201cWe see cloud services as an enabling technology \u2014 it\u2019s less capital investment.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df9762b;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69a7df9762b = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df9762c').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a69a7df9762c'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Building Cloud Infrastructure in Space<\/h3>\n<p>Several cloud executives expressed excitement for the future orbital applications enabled by cloud and edge computing, which they called \u201ca mobile data center in space.\u201d For these cloud advocates, the satellite industry\u2019s future looks bright when it comes to leveraging cloud technology, both to democratize connectivity and to enable human exploration further into space. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be a permanent presence on the Moon within five years \u2013 maybe sooner\u2014 and beyond that there\u2019s Mars.
