Abstract
As private space companies such as SpaceX and Telesat are building large LEO satellite constellations to provide global broadband Internet access, researchers have proposed to embed compute services within satellite constellations to provide computing services on the *LEO edge*. While the LEO edge is merely theoretical at the moment, providers are expected to rapidly develop their satellite technologies to keep the upper hand in the new space race.
