Abstract:
A satellite includes a satellite control system, an antenna connected to the satellite control system, a memory device, a computing environment configured on the satellite. The satellite can be part of a cluster of satellites that are dynamically organized from a larger group of satellites based on one or more of scheduled workload, a movement of the larger group of satellites, thermal issues, reset or reboot issues, energy issues and capabilities of individual satellites to provide access to compute resources on the cluster of satellites such as cloud-services or data. Requests for compute resources can be routed to the proper satellite in the dynamically-changing cluster of satellites to provide data associated with the compute resources or access to functions associated with the compute resources such as stock, bond, or cryptocurrency trading functions. The cluster of satellites can be periodically updated to provide continued service or availability of the compute resources.
