The rapid growth of satellite Internet constellations is transforming space systems into a new layer of global digital infrastructure. Future constellations are expected to support not only broadband connectivity, but also direct-to-device communication, real-time Earth observation, autonomous operation, and intelligent services across remote, maritime, aerial, and emergency scenarios. At the same time, the explosive growth of space-generated data and the rising demand for low-latency, intelligent services are creating a strong need for on-orbit AI, orbital edge computing, space data centers, and space–ground cloud systems. Together, these developments make satellite computing a timely and rapidly emerging research direction.

Satellite computing refers to deploying computing resources—including processors, servers, algorithms, foundation models, and cloud platforms—on satellites, enabling them to sense, transmit, process, analyze, and coordinate information in orbit. By organizing distributed on-orbit resources across satellite constellations and integrating them with terrestrial cloud and edge systems, satellite computing is expected to support real-time sensing, intelligent decision-making, distributed AI inference, autonomous operations, and resilient global services.

The International Conference on Satellite Computing aims to provide a premier forum for researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners to exchange advances, challenges, and experiences in satellite computing. The conference welcomes contributions across computer science, communication networks, electronic engineering, aerospace systems, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on the architectures, systems, algorithms, platforms, and applications that enable computing in, from, and through space.
