International Business Machines had three patents in space economy during Q2 2024. IBM has filed patents for a method to determine when satellites in low Earth orbit with duplicate data will be close to each other, allowing for replication of data to a third satellite. Another patent is for a communication system using a remote multi-access edge computer to provide cellular connectivity to remote locations out of range of a telecom provider.

Application: Data security in remote storage systems storing duplicate instances of data (Patent ID: US20240143624A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes a computer-implemented method for managing data replication between satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The method involves determining when two satellites with duplicate data will be within a predefined distance, identifying a third satellite to store a replication copy of the data during that time, and transmitting the data to the third satellite for storage. The system includes a processor and logic to execute this method, while the computer program product comprises instructions for determining proximity, selecting storage satellites, and managing data transfer and recovery.
Additionally, the patent also covers a method where two satellites with duplicate data will be within a predefined distance, and at least two other satellites are identified to store different portions of the data during that time. The method involves transmitting different portions of the data to the second satellites for storage via inter-satellite communications. This approach allows for efficient data replication and storage management in satellite data centers in LEO.
