Phison’s Pascari Enterprise SSDs provide industrial strength, durability and performance to survive the final frontier for data storage: the lunar surface<\/em><\/p>\n

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL \u2013 February 26, 2025 –\u00a0Phison Electronics<\/a>\u00a0(8299TT), a leading innovator in NAND flash technologies has partnered with\u00a0Lonestar Data Holdings Inc.<\/a>\u00a0(Lonestar), a leader in lunar infrastructure and Resiliency as a Service (RaaS), to support today\u2019s successful lunar mission launch, Lonestar’s Freedom Mission. The Freedom payload utilizes SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket and is set to reach the lunar surface on March 4th, commencing a new journey as Earth\u2019s ultimate data processing, backup and recovery solution to store mission-critical knowledge for humanity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The novel ability to safeguard data on the Moon continues to spike interest for global governments, NGOs and enterprises as it provides an additional layer of fortitude against natural disasters and unpredictable impacts to crucial data. With a shared vision of unparalleled resiliency in data storage, Phison and Lonestar collaborated to ensure the Freedom mission moves beyond technical innovation alone to unlock the future of interplanetary operations. The strategic mix of Freedom\u2019s 3D-printed exterior, provided to Lonestar by\u00a0SpaceBilt<\/a>\u00a0and designed by visionary architects\u00a0Bjarke Ingels and\u00a0Martin Voelkle\u00a0of BIG, alongside the Phison\u00a0Pascari<\/a>\u00a0portfolio\u2019s durability in extreme conditions proves optimal for the\u00a0unforgiving environment in space<\/a>. With unique solar-power sourcing and natural cooling capabilities, Freedom\u2019s state-of-the-art lunar data center design is poised to maintain peak operational performance with minimal resource dependency.<\/p>\n

Leading up to today\u2019s launch, Phison worked closely beside Lonestar to provide a Pascari enterprise-grade storage solution pressure-tested to withstand cosmic radiation, harsh temperature variation, vibrations and disturbances from lunar launches and landings. The result is a feat of engineering: storage built for long-term durability\u00a0and capable of handling the massive\u00a0read\/write cycles\u00a0needed for Freedom\u2019s intensive edge computing tasks. Once established, Freedom will provide premium, high-performance\u00a0Resiliency Disaster Recovery\u00a0and advanced\u00a0edge processing services\u00a0to NGOs, government and enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen considering the required storage components for this massive undertaking, Phison was a natural choice for us at Lonestar,\u201d said Christopher Stott, Founder and CEO, Lonestar. \u201cToday\u2019s Freedom mission is just the beginning of a petabyte-level, long-term mission and we strategically selected a partner who could scale alongside us even in the harshest environmental conditions. Freedom now serves as a proof of concept for robust, space-ready SSD technology, paving the way for\u00a0next-generation applications\u00a0in lunar and interstellar missions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Phison, we are honored to be the trusted storage solution provider for Lonestar\u2019s mission to pioneer and enable applications that set a benchmark for the future of space exploration,\u201d said Michael Wu, GM and President, Phison US. \u201cThis technology partnership allows us to ensure Phison\u2019s promise of data integrity and seamless performance beyond Earth\u2019s boundaries. We look forward to building upon today\u2019s act of human ingenuity to support projects that embody resilience and innovation in the face of uncharted challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freedom is the second payload driven by Lonestar following the successful\u00a0Independence mission<\/a>. The completion of Freedom\u2019s launch was celebrated today at the Kennedy Space Center with key partners and astronauts, catch the action and highlights on the\u00a0Phison blog<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Phison YouTube channel<\/a>.
