From returning humans to the moon and launching more capable satellites to commercial research on the International Space Station, the rapidly decreasing launch costs of space missions have made space accessible to more governments and companies for research, exploration, and new products and services. Satellites, drones, and other machinery used in space for such purposes frequently require autonomous operations, driving the need for sensors, and computing power for autonomy. Also, research and exploration in space generates data that has to be transferred back to earth for analysis, which depends on a connection between space and the ground link that is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. As a result, Edge computing technologies are increasingly being used to address these challenges.

We will host Naeem Altaf, Distinguished Engineer and CTO of Space Technology @ IBM, for this meetup. In his talk, Naeem’s will be sharing the drivers behind edge computing in space, example use cases, and what the future holds for Edge in space.

About Naeem
Naeem leads IBM's Blue Tech Innovation group, focused on innovating from edge computing in space to supply chain optimization for space assets, to the autonomous cognitive framework for CubeSat swarms, to growing challenges of space debris and collision avoidance, to geo-spatial analysis with satellite imagery, to exploring quantum computing for opening new realms of possibilities for the new space age. Naeem's team also partners with various space agencies, universities, and space tech companies, to design and build a first-of-a-kind proof of concepts and technical prototypes. Naeem has been leading work for IBM in collaboration with NASA and SETI for the Frontier Development Lab (FDL) program. Naeem is often a technical spokesperson internally and externally for IBM across a variety of topics including cloud, Internet-of-Things, blockchain, edge computing, and Space Tech. Naeem also has several articles and patents issued. He has been with IBM for more than 20 years.
