SUMMARY:OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON-ORBIT COMPUTING (Space News)\, Apr 30\, 2026\, DC\, 3:00-7:00 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Space News will hold an event in Washington\, DC on April 30\, 2026 from 3:00-7:00 pm ET to discuss “Opportunities for On-Orbit Computing” as part of its Orbital Data Center series. \nThe event is in-person only and seating is limited.

The event will not be live-streamed. A post-event report featuring takeaways will be published in May and select conversations may be featured on upcoming episodes of our Space Minds podcast. \nIn-person event\nOpportunities for On-Orbit Computing\nPart of SpaceNews’ Orbital Data Centers Series\nThursday\, April 30 | 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET\nWashington\, D.C. \n \n  \n  \n
