SPACEBRAIN
An on-board computer for CubeSats and SmallSats for EO image processing using ML algorithms
Scheda del progetto
The project aims to develop a state-of-the-art on-board computer for satellite builders and operators, with the goal of enabling autonomy for satellite operations directly in orbit. With this integrated computer, the satellite will be able to autonomously manage its on-board resources and work plan, thereby optimizing communications with Mission Control Centers, the load on assigned teams, and the costs incurred by operators. Thanks to the advanced learning algorithms at the heart of the system, the satellite will also be able to optimize data acquisition and processing, as in the case of Earth Observation (EO) missions, facilitating applications such as environmental monitoring, land resource management and disaster response. The result will be an integrated solution that includes hardware, middleware and software

Being able to enhance capabilities for autonomous operations directly on board, particularly for CubeSat and SmallSat.
This project responds to the current and future needs of space operators, who today must optimize costs and processes in the face of increasing demand with respect to both mission objectives and especially data acquisition. Spacebrain is the simple and secure answer that enables direct on-orbit management of processes and data, thanks to its Artificial Intelligence.
An advanced on-board computer can enable satellite manufacturers to develop and deploy innovative technologies that enable improvements in energy efficiency, data processing, and communication capabilities and allow for reduced launch and operating costs.In addition, innovations and best practices developed in the field of satellite computer design can be applied to other areas related to space exploration.
