How a supercomputer on the International Space Station is revolutionising science on the edge

In the next couple of episodes we’re going to be looking at HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 - a supercomputer on the International Space Station (ISS) that’s revolutionising computing at the edge, and science in space.

This week, we’ll be looking at the science behind the computer. Next week, we’ll be looking at the way it’s changing the way research is conducted in orbit and beyond.

So how is ddge computing changing how scientists and astronauts benefit from space exploration? To explain, we’re joined by the Principal Investigator for HPE Spaceborne Computer-2, Mark Fernandez.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
