What happens when AI meets one of the most demanding environments imaginable? Discover how SAP and HPE are bringing predictive AI to space.
At SAP TechEd 2026, SAP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) showcase how tabular foundation models, including SAP-RPT and TabPFN, can support mission-critical decision-making in space. Through a collaboration involving the International Space Station (ISS), SAP is exploring how AI can analyze complex telemetry data, detect potential risks, and help teams respond before small issues become critical failures. At approximately 400 kilometers above Earth, reliable predictions and timely decisions are essential.
See how SAP’s relational pretrained transformer (RPT) model is designed to process large volumes of structured data, reconstruct missing sensor readings, and monitor system health in real time. The demonstration illustrates how predictive AI can identify sensor degradation, maintain telemetry continuity, and generate actionable reports to support astronauts and ground control. By combining advanced AI models with HPE’s space computing technology, SAP is exploring new possibilities for intelligent operations in environments where every second counts.
The implications extend far beyond space exploration. From manufacturing and supply chains to enterprise infrastructure, organizations face similar challenges involving large volumes of data, operational uncertainty, and the need to detect problems early. Discover how tabular AI can help businesses move from reactive monitoring to proactive decision-making, improving resilience and supporting more reliable operations. This collaboration also opens new possibilities for in-space computing and the future of space-based data centers.
