Valkyrie, an applied sciences lab and leader in AI-driven technologies, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Lonestar Data Holdings, a leader in advanced data storage solutions. Valkyrie’s knowledge graphs will be included in Lonestar’s payload scheduled to land on the Moon in late 2024 onboard Intuitive Machine’s IM-2 Mission. This mission will test the operations of Valkyrie’s Graph Database (GDB) and the viability of using this technology on astrophysics data stored onboard by the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
A Vision Beyond Earth
Valkyrie Intelligence shares Lonestar’s vision of safeguarding Earth’s data, one byte at a time, through the development of a lunar network of satellites. This network will provide some of the most secure data storage services available, built on an independent infrastructure designed for government and enterprise customers. The spacecraft in orbit will be linked to a ground station, allowing critical data to be stored and transferred securely, bypassing terrestrial networks entirely.
As the demand for robust data security and infrastructure continues to grow, edge processing and machine learning algorithms will become increasingly vital in supporting lunar landers, rovers, and other developments on the Moon. Valkyrie and Lonestar are positioned to lead this charge. Their combined efforts will ensure that sensitive information—ranging from classified government data to healthcare and financial records—is securely backed up and protected from hackers, nation-states, and environmental threats.

By extending this secure network to the lunar surface, Lonestar, with Valkyrie’s knowledge graph databases, is not only pioneering unparalleled data protection but also positioning itself at the forefront of the burgeoning lunar economy. This visionary approach ensures data security that transcends the reach of cyber threats, geopolitical conflicts, and environmental hazards, setting a new standard for the future of data protection.
Pioneering Edge Processing in Space
The primary goal of this partnership is to evaluate the performance of GDB, a groundbreaking data system, in the challenging environment of space. This technology, known for its ability to conduct searches and retrievals faster and with more context than conventional methods, forms the backbone of Valkyrie’s artificial intelligence and machine learning business, which serves both government and commercial clients. This mission will mark the first test of Graph Databases in space, utilizing both RISC V architecture and edge processing techniques at the ultimate edge of space and Earth.
