NASA has officially debuted Athena, its most powerful and efficient supercomputer to date. “Now with Athena, NASA will expand its efforts to provide tailored computing resources that meet the evolving needs of its missions,” Murphy added. “The supercomputer is available to NASA researchers and external scientists and researchers supporting NASA programs who can apply for time to use the system,” NASA noted in the press statement. As NASA explores further into space, Athena will handle the complex math needed to keep every mission safe. “With Athena, NASA is laying the digital foundation for the next era of discovery,” the US space agency stated.
