Science on the edge of space: Exploring the possibilities opened up by HPE Spaceborne Computer 2

In this episode we are revisiting HPE Spaceborne Computer 2, the supercomputer at the edge of space, speeding around above our heads on the International Space Station (ISS).

Last week, we looked at the science behind the system. This week, we’re exploring how HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 is speeding up the time it takes for experiments to be carried out in space, with 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.
