Year after year, the Space Symposium keeps up its reputation as the “must attend” space industry event. This year was no different. The Space Symposium once again lived up to our expectations by conducting lively and productive networking discussions, while exhibits showcasing the latest in space technology. Here's a quick recap of the event:

• Secretary of the Air Force the Honorable Frank Kendall discussed at the 36th Space Symposium, noting the critical role space plays in the nation’s security, the essential functions space enables in everyday life, and why access must be assured as space becomes more congested and contested.

HPE OEM teamed up with OrbitsEdge to showcase SatFrame- designed to host and provide the environmental, power, communications, and hardening which permits the use of terrestrial (Earth designed) technology in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). On the contrary, Spaceborne Computer-2 will enable astronauts to eliminate longer latency and wait times associated with sending data to-and-from earth to tackle research and gain insights immediately for a range of projects.
