SPACIOUS (Science PlAtform Cloud Infrastructure for Outsize Usage Scenarios) aims to become a turning point for exploiting scientific data from space missions more efficiently, through a new computational framework for astrophysics based on big data and data mining technologies.
With its innovative approach, the project is set to open new avenues in space science, significantly enhancing the ability to manage and analyze the growing volume of highly complex data from space missions.
