Nov. 5: Satellite Mission Management at the Edge

October 23, 2026 · by DPW Pipeline

Satellite operations are growing more complex. For national security missions, that means faster decisionmaking, greater resilience and the ability to adapt on orbit is needed. Today’s operators must modernize mission management, integrate new technologies and deliver capabilities without compromising security, reliability or operational control.

Join SpaceNews and RTX on Nov. 5 for a virtual event exploring how emerging technologies and commercial capabilities are transforming satellite operations and enabling more dynamic, resilient and affordable national security space missions.

Speakers will discuss advances in mission management, edge computing, automation and cloud-native architectures, as well as the challenges of integrating new capabilities with legacy systems. The conversation will examine how modular approaches can accelerate technology upgrades, strengthen mission assurance and improve affordability.

Speakers:

Dave Huber, vice president of space ISR, RTX
Brandon Miller, interim director, global defense partners, Amazon Web Services
Dave Gauthier, chief strategy officer, GXO, Inc.
Moderated by Mike Gruss, chief content and strategy officer, SpaceNews
