Strasbourg, France, May 8, 2026--The demand for computing and storage in space missions is growing. This can be illustrated by comparing the capabilities of the guidance computer system used in the first Apollo mission that landed humans on the Moon and those of the systems typically used today. The former had 2KB of RAM and 72KB of storage, while modern computers usually have 64GB of RAM and 0.5–1TB of storage. That equates to 32 million times more RAM and 7–15 million times more capacity.
