FIRST 3D-PRINTED DATA CENTER UNVEILED BY LONESTAR DATA HOLDINGS & BIG

Together with Lonestar Data Holdings, BIG designed the Freedom Payload data center, which will travel to the Moon with Intuitive Machines on a NASA CLPS mission. As the first 3D-printed data center, the Freedom Payload can store up to eight terabytes of data and will be entirely solar powered and naturally cooled. Illustrating BIG’s ethos of giving form to the future, it is designed to feature the profiles of two NASA astronauts – Charlie Duke and Nicole Stott – whose faces will cast changing shadows on the Moon throughout the lunar day (14 Earth days) for thousands of years to come. As the first physical data center located off-Earth, this signifies the initial step in space becoming a recognized home for data management.
