Story
In Ireland, the start-up Ubotica is collaborating with NASA on the FAME mission, which aims to implement advanced autonomous capabilities in the field of satellite operations. The multiyear flight demonstration is set to begin with an initial group of six spacecraft that will utilize Ubotica's onboard artificial intelligence systems. This mission, coordinated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, intends to establish a network of more than 50 satellites from various operators, marking a significant milestone in autonomous satellite technology. The collaboration is expected to enable real-time monitoring of critical Earth events such as wildfires, rogue ships, and volcanic eruptions. Ubotica’s AI platform is designed to process imagery in orbit, allowing satellites to operate without delays that are typical of traditional Earth observation methods. By equipping satellites with the capability to
