Ubotica, a provider of SPACE:AI, announced another significant milestone in Live Earth Intelligence with its CogniSAT-6 satellite mission: successful onboard AI detection of objects on Earth and immediate relay of insights to users on the ground.
This marks the world”s first commercial deployment of Live Earth Intelligence, setting a new standard for real-time space-based insights.
The Challenge of Traditional Earth Observation
Earth has an observation problem. Today’s Earth Observation (EO) satellites don’t understand what they’re observing; they simply gather data and downlink it all for delayed on-ground processing. Earth Observation today is slow, expensive, and overly complex.
SPACE:AI: The Future of Earth Observation
Ubotica’s CogniSAT-6 mission, launched in partnership with Open Cosmos in March this year, changes this paradigm. Powered by Ubotica’s SPACE:AI platform, it revolutionises Earth Observation by enabling satellites to understand what they see and to deliver affordable, real-time and actionable insights crucial for economic growth, climate monitoring, and global security.
Groundbreaking Milestone in Live Earth Intelligence
CogniSAT-6 recently captured an image over Khor Fakkan, UAE, and within minutes, SPACE:AI identified 142 ships outside the port at an impressive rate of 21.3 km² of image data processed per second. Rather than today’s methods that wait until a satellite passes over a downlink ground station to transmit images, which can delay insights by days, CogniSAT-6 uses a real-time inter-satellite communications network to immediately relay insights to ground.
