Berlin – October 27, 2026 -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) will run its SAP-RPT tabular foundation model on the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 aboard the International Space Station, an edge-compute deployment it describes as one of the most significant for any enterprise AI model to date. The announcement headlined a package of agent, data and governance upgrades unveiled at the SAP TechEd developer conference.
SAP-RPT is planned to run onboard the ISS without sending data to Earth
Developed with HPE, the deployment is designed to support anomaly triage, predict issues before failures escalate, reconstruct missing sensor values from historical data, and generate explainable mission-health reports for astronauts and ground teams. SAP said no data needs to be sent back to Earth for analysis.
