TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is just three days away. The Space Stage is ready to explore the future of space technology and every other frontier of innovation. Space leaders Adam Maher of Ursa, Dr. Lucy Hoag of Violet Labs, and Dr. Debra L. Emmons of The Aerospace Corporation will discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming life in orbit.
If you are looking for insights, inspiration, and a front-row seat to what is next, this is the session to attend. You can save up to four hundred forty-four dollars on your pass before the event begins on October twenty-seventh. You can also get a guest pass for sixty percent off or receive fifteen to thirty percent off group rates for your team.
Forget just rockets and satellites. The real revolution in space is not just about what we launch, but about the intelligence we deploy. Space has become the ultimate data frontier. To truly harness it, we need more than just data pipes; we need brains in orbit. This is the age of on-orbit computing and autonomous decision-making, where intelligent edge systems instantly transform raw satellite data into actionable insight.
Artificial intelligence is not just optimizing missions; it is transforming them. It is the engine for unprecedented speed, efficiency, and resilience, enabling missions to be managed and scaled like never before. This Space Stage session at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 will showcase the true innovators who are pushing intelligence to the absolute edge, redefining the speed, efficiency, and resilience of operations in space.
With only three days until the event, you can still save on tickets. Save up to four hundred forty-four dollars on your pass before doors open on October twenty-seventh, and get a plus-one ticket for sixty percent off. Teams can save even more with fifteen to thirty percent off group passes.
