Beaming raw data from orbit down to Earth takes ages and wastes millions of dollars in highly constrained radio bandwidth. Instead of sending raw garbage down the pipe, space-based edge computing handles the math in the stars. Systems like the HPE Spaceborne Computer sit directly on the ISS, running AI algorithms to filter out useless images of clouds or damaged sensor data.
