The S.T.E.A.M. Access Initiative presents a distributed digital infrastructure supporting the full spectrum of scientific inquiry: From Astrophysics to Ecology, and Robotics to Arts.
Scientific disciplines are converging. The biologist needs the same "Big Data" capacity as the astronomer. The robotics engineer needs the same telemetry backbone as the climatologist.
The S.T.E.A.M. Access Initiative established IAAS to act as the central nervous system for this convergence. We provide the Interconnected Archive—a secure, petabyte-scale data trust that allows researchers, artists, and engineers to store, share, and analyze their work without technical barriers.
Multi-Discipline Ingest
A multi-modal facility: Public Education, Research Laboratory, and Data Trust.
Secure Repository
The backbone of the IAAS. A hardened, immutable storage facility preserving data for all partner disciplines.
Providing partners with direct access to professional-grade instrumentation. Whether on-site or via remote link, our facility bridges the gap between theory and observation.
Empowering S.T.E.A.M. research through shared infrastructure.
Aerospace rocketry, high-altitude balloons, and remote telemetry systems.
Dark sky biology, native plant restoration, and climate monitoring.
Big Data processing, archival theory, and machine learning datasets.
Solar, Lunar, and Deep Sky imaging via Automated Observatories.
The S.T.E.A.M. Access Initiative is seeking Non-Binding Letters of Intent from educational institutions, non-profit organizations, science-focused government agencies, and community S.T.E.A.M. organizations. Secure your data's future.
The IAAS infrastructure is strictly designated for Science, Research, and Education data only. Commercial use is strictly prohibited. Certain types of data processing which extend beyond reasonable use limits for shared infrastructure are prohibited. Please contact us to discuss the specific computational details of your project.
