**[Rewritten and SEO-optimized Video Description]**
Welcome to the Spaceborne Computer II for HPE, a collaboration between HPE and NASA to bring commercial supercomputing to the International Space Station (ISS). In this video, we have the privilege of speaking with Mark Fernandez, the Principal Investigator, about this groundbreaking project.

The Spaceborne Computer II is a state-of-the-art, off-the-shelf supercomputer that proves the feasibility of edge computing in space. By processing massive amounts of data generated on the ISS, it not only reduces the time it takes to obtain results, but also minimizes the data transmission required back to Earth.

One of the keys to the success of this project lies in the collaborative effort between edge computing and cloud computing at the edge. By processing the data and sending only the essential insights to scientists on Earth or to the cloud for further exploration, this technology revolutionizes the way data is managed in space.

The Spaceborne Computer II, featured in this video, is just the beginning. With the upcoming Spaceborne 3, we can expect even more powerful computing capabilities in a quarter of the size, further expanding the potential of edge computing in space.

Built on standard x86 computers, these off-the-shelf processors and computers are readily available to any HPE customer. The idea is to develop software on modern computers that can seamlessly transition to the edge when deployed in space environments.

Moreover, power efficiency is a top priority. By monitoring and optimizing the power consumption of all components, we ensure that the computer operates at the minimum requirement to achieve our goals.

With partners like Astro lab, we are pushing the boundaries of edge computing. As we venture out to the Moon in 2026, our goal is to continue providing cutting-edge computing technology on the ever-expanding edges of exploration.

This project started in 2014 and has been a lifelong career for Mark Fernandez. The success of this project brings us one step closer to landing on the Moon with confidence and sets new benchmarks in space computing.
