AIKO Technology flying with Satellogic

AIKO signs an agreement with Satellogic, an Earth Observation satellite company, to validate Deep Learning technology. The activity will be carried out within Satellogic's Software and Hardware Hosted Payloads Program during 2019.

Why is this important for us?
In-orbit validation is a crucial step in order to improve AIKO's heritage.
The Technology Readiness Level of AIKO's technology will reach the status of TRL 9: demonstrated in a real mission scenario.

AIKO's technology enables more ambitious commercial and scientific goals for Earth Observation missions, as an increased degree of on-board autonomy helps implement more effective mission operations. Especially functionalities like event detection, autonomous planning and goal management, if implemented on-board, would introduce several benefits to the way operations are managed.

Deep Learning opens new possibilities and horizons, such as:
- Prioritization and payload data selection
- Onboard data enhancing
In addition to the activities carried out during the program, AIKO will further improve its internal procedures for implementing and optimising Deep Learning software in the context of space systems on-board execution.

Given this opportunity, AIKO further consolidates its role in the Space industry as provider of automation and Artificial Intelligence solutions, dramatically expanding its know-how and expertise.

A sincere thank you to Satellogic for the opportunity!
