Orbital edge computing: nano satellite constellations as a new class of computer system

The Morning Paper

Orbital edge computing: nanosatellite constellations as a new class of computer system , Denby & Lucia, ASPLOS’20. Last time out we looked at the real-world deployment of 5G networks and noted the affinity between 5G and edge computing. In true Crocodile Dundee style, Denby and Lucia are entitled to say “that’s not the edge, this is the edge!”. Today’s paper choice has it all: clusters of formation-flying autonomous nanosatellites working in tandem to overcome the physical limitations of spa
