Geo-restricted data management in satellite constellation datacenters

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, wherein the memory includes a computer program product configured to perform operations for implementing geo-restricted data management in satellite constellation datacenters, the operations comprising:
• storing geo-location restricted data at a Low Orbit Earth (LEO) satellite constellation datacenter;
• identifying a geo-location cone extending from a given geographic location earth boundary through multiple satellite orbital altitudes, the satellite constellation datacenter requires that the geo-location restricted data be stored within the geo-location cone;
• identifying LEO satellites within the defined geo-location cone for storing the geo-location restricted data;
• identifying a first satellite from the LEO satellites storing the geo-location restricted data;
• identifying a given time for the first satellite to move outside the defined geo-location cone;
• identifying a second satellite from the LEO satellites that will still be within the defined geo-location cone at the given time;
• and
• transferring, using laser based data transfer, the geo-location restricted data from the first satellite to the second satellite within the defined geo-location cone at, or before, the given time.

A computer program product for implementing geo-restricted data management in satellite constellation datacenters, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation comprising:
• storing geo-location restricted data at a Low Orbit Earth (LEO) satellite constellation datacenter;
• identifying a geo-location cone extending from a given geographic location earth boundary through multiple satellite orbital altitudes, the satellite constellation datacenter requires that the geo-location restricted data be stored within the geo-location cone;
• identifying LEO satellites within the defined geo-location cone for storing the geo-location restricted data;
• identifying a first satellite from the LEO satellites storing the geo-location restricted data;
• identifying a given time for the first satellite to move outside the defined geo-location cone;
• identifying a second satellite from the LEO satellites that will still be within the defined geo-location cone at the given time;
• and
• transferring, using laser based data transfer, the geo-location restricted data from the first satellite to the second satellite within the defined geo-location cone at, or before, the given time.
