As AI and data-intensive technologies drive unprecedented demand for computing power, researchers are exploring new possibilities beyond Earth. Join Rob DeMillo, CEO of Sophia Space, for a discussion on the future of orbital computing and space-based data centers.
DeMillo will explore the physics of heat rejection in space, the technologies required for high-density computing in orbit, and the trends accelerating industry interest in orbital infrastructure. The seminar will also examine how declining launch costs, growing volumes of satellite-generated data, and increasing resource demands from terrestrial AI data centers are shaping the next generation of computing.
