In an exciting collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), Open Cosmos has successfully launched Phisat-2, a cutting-edge 6U CubeSat designed to transform Earth observation through artificial intelligence. This innovative satellite is equipped with a sophisticated multispectral camera that captures high-resolution images of our planet. However, what sets Phisat-2 apart is its ability to process this data intelligently right in orbit.
At the heart of Phisat-2’s functionality is an onboard computer that enables the deployment of AI applications specifically tailored for Earth observation. Utilizing the open-source NanoSat MO Framework (NMF), these applications can be installed, updated, and operated remotely from Earth, ensuring that the satellite remains at the forefront of technological advancements.
Phisat-2 is currently leveraging four AI-based applications that enhance its capacity to analyze and interpret data in real time. This means that the satellite can not only gather information but also make sense of it on-the-fly, offering valuable insights into environmental changes, agricultural trends, and disaster monitoring.
The integration of AI into satellite technology marks a significant step forward in our ability to monitor the Earth efficiently and effectively. With Phisat-2 leading the way, we can expect advancements in our understanding of various phenomena, from climate change to urban development. This partnership between Open Cosmos and ESA underscores a shared commitment to harnessing cutting-edge technology for the benefit of our planet
