NVIDIA’s accele ated computi g platfo m will be deployed ac oss multiple upcomi g Lu a Outpost missio s, begi i g with Lu a Voyage 2 (LV2), which is pla ed to lau ch late this yea to explo e Rei e Gamma. Fo LV2, Lu a Outpost is usi g NVIDIA® Jetso ™ modules to comma d a d co t ol the ove ‘s LiDAR system. The p ocesso will also ha dle post-p ocessi g of se so data a d comp essio of la ge files fo dow li k, c itical capabilities give commu icatio s co st ai ts o the Moo .
