This presentation addresses satellite integration into 5G and edge computing. It outlines the adoption of standard 3GPP 5G technologies in the satellite core network and addresses the applicability of edge computing in the satellite network. The concepts introduced and discussed within the EU H2020 5G PPP Phase 2 project “SaT5G” (Satellite and Terrestrial Network for 5G, http://sat5g-project.eu/) and the ESA ARTES project “SATis5” (Demonstrator for Satellite-Terrestrial Integration in the 5G Context, https://artes.esa.int/projects/satis5-0). Furthermore, the applicability of edge networking concepts in satellite networks is investigated within ESA ARTES project “EdgeSAT” (Edge Network Computing Capabilities for Satellite Remote Terminals, https://artes.esa.int/projects/edgesat).
