#49 Exo-Space - edge computing in space

My guests this week are from Exo-Space, a company offering a platform for on-orbit data processing, so basically edge computing in space. That is becoming quite a popular topic for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that we are generating an ever increasing amount of data in space. Let’s hear all about it!
