0:00.0	And the So, Welcome to AWS in orbit. We've collaborated with AWS on a fantastic project at the intersection of space technology, cloud computing, and artificial
0:46.8	intelligence. I'm Maria Varmazis. We'll explore not just what's possible, but what's meaningful in the realm of space and cloud innovation.
0:58.0	On AWS in orbit, we grapple with the complex challenges and unparalleled opportunities that arise
1:06.2	when we use space to address pressing issues right here on Earth. From enhancing
1:12.2	global security to monitoring climate change to democratizing education,
1:17.8	the implications are as limitless as space itself. Episode 1, Kathy O'Donnell, AWS and Generative AI.
1:37.0	My name is Kathy O'Donnell.
1:39.6	Kathy O'Donnell is the leader of Space Solutions Architecture for AWS.
1:44.0	We're a part of aerospace and satellite at AWS, so we focus specifically on aerospace and satellite
1:51.0	customers.
1:52.0	In this extended conversation, space and satellite customers.
2:00.0	In this extended conversation, we dive into how AWS is supporting generative AI in the space domain.
2:05.9	She walks us through some incredible case studies with AWS customers like deorbit and latitude 40 who are using generative AI and space technologies to
2:12.1	improve life here on Earth.
2:15.0	Can you tell me a little bit about how you got into the role that you're in now at AWS?
2:22.0	I started off as an applied research
2:25.4	mathematician with the Department of Defense so I started back in 2000 and
2:30.0	got to be involved in the transition from like landlines and telephones to the internet and cellular networks and the use of satellite communications.
2:41.0	And at the same time, because I was a mathematician, I did a lot of modeling and
2:46.1	analytics. And it was great because I had access to like supercomputers and all sorts of data.
2:55.0	After it was about 14 years, I had just worked with the government
2:57.0	and I was certainly like,
