Valkyrie, an AI-focused research and development firm based in Austin, has announced a strategic partnership with Lonestar Data Holdings, a St. Petersburg startup. This collaboration is set to culminate in the launch of the first data center on the Moon, scheduled for January 2025. Earlier this year, Lonestar became the first company to successfully transmit data to and from space, showcasing its innovative capabilities. The partnership aims to use Valkyrie's advanced AI-powered Graph Database to enhance data retrieval and transmission efficiency.
According to Lonestar's CEO, Chris Stott, this technology could revolutionize data management on Earth as well. Initially met with skepticism, both companies have proven their vision for a lunar economy is viable and promising. Valkyrie's knowledge graphs will be integral to Lonestar's lunar payload, further solidifying their positions in this emerging market. This development reflects the increasing relevance of space technology in shaping future data management and storage solutions.
