DNA sequencing with the MinION device

is allowing for the

identification of microbes onboard the International Space Station

(ISS). While DNA sequencing has become common onboard the

ISS, data processing still requires the downlink of the data to

Earth delaying the time to results.

IBM developed the “Edge Computing in Space” solution

Eliminating the need to move the massive data being produced on

the ISS by the DNA Sequencing project, by presenting

containerized analytical code right where the data is being

produced by leveraging the local compute to be available on ISS,

reducing the time to less than a week to get results.

IBM's solution utilizes

Redhat CodeReady Containers, a single

node OpenShift cluster This solution connects back on the

ground with IBM Cloud where researchers will develop, test, and

make their code ready to be pushed to ISS.
