The Next Space Age: Intelligent Systems, Data, and the Journey Beyond - We talk IoT #40

While Space might seem a world away from our everyday experiences with the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data, our guest bridges that gap today. I'm excited to introduce Kate Underhill, a rocket scientist from the European Space Agency (ESA).

Kate works with the 'Future Launchers Preparatory Programme' at ESA, blending cutting-edge technology with space exploration, from implementing AI in non-destructive hardware inspections to creating intelligent propulsion systems.

We'll explore if the answer to our global challenges is written in the stars.
