#HewlettPackardEnterprise is teaming up with #NASA to launch a #supercomputer into space on Monday, with the ultimate aim of building computing resources that could serve on board a mission to Mars. The supercomputer, called the #SpaceborneComputer, will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on board the #SpaceX #CRS12 rocket, developed by @ElonMusk 's SpaceX. The rocket will send the SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft -- and the supercomputer along with it -- to the International Space Station ( #ISS ) National Lab. The goal of the joint experiment is to have the Spaceborne Computer operate smoothly in space for on year, which is roughly how long it would take to travel to Mars.
