Packets in Space: Networking for the Final Frontier - CISCOU-1057#

Lexie Cooper (Blue Origin), Eric Peterson (Blue Origin), Patrick Garggan (Cisco)

• Why: Designing networks where failure is not an option and latency requirements are extreme forces first-principles thinking that is useful calibration for anyone building "critical" terrestrial infrastructure.
• What: A moderated Q&A with Blue Origin "rocket network engineers" on designing mission-critical networks for rockets and spacecraft — real-time telemetry, low-latency requirements, and extreme environmental conditions (from abstract only — note the program abstract is truncated mid-sentence, so the full scope of the session is unclear from the text alone).
• How: Q&A format rather than a prepared technical talk.
• Where applicable: Aerospace-specific, but the deterministic, failure-intolerant design lessons generalize to any network with hard availability and timing requirements.
