D-Orbit Announces In-Orbit Edge Computing Collaboration with SkyServe STORM
D-Orbit Integrates Edge Computing in Space as Part of SkyServe’s Mission Matterhorn
Fino Mornasco, Italy, April 18, 2024: D-Orbit, a leader in the space infrastructure,logistics and orbital transportation industry, announced today that they will be enablingedge computing capabilities with the SkyServe STORM platform, aboard some of
the ION Satellite Carriers that make up the fleet of orbital transfer vehicles that thecompany has already in orbit (specifically, ION SCV004 Elysian Eleonora) and then on amore performant ION in 2025.
As a part of Mission Matterhorn, SkyServe STORM will leverage D-Orbit's live earth
observation data feed, onboard compute and data distribution resources to process
images into inferences directly in space and deploying geo spatial end-use applications.
The mission is designed to enable geospatial organization and analytics companies todeploy artificial intelligence models on satellites, aiming to significantly enhance in-orbit
data processing and analytics capabilities.
"SkyServe STORM's deployment represents a pivotal moment for space-based dataanalytics. This mission with D-Orbit allows us to perform complex processing tasks inorbit, and making space data more accessible and actionable for our clients", remarked
Vinay Simha, CEO of SkyServe. "We are excited to collaborate with D-Orbit paving theway for in-orbit data processing, for applications on the edge".
SkyServe STORM’s deployment on D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier will provide a suite ofdata processing capabilities, such as smart discard, tasking, compression and other deeplearning features on D-Orbit’s upcoming missions.
"I am thrilled to work with SkyServe on this mission. The mission highlights the type ofengagement between leading space tech companies that result in meaningful outcomes
for technology, business, and society”, commented Viney Jean-Francois Dhiri, DOrbit’s Head of Business Development. “The collaboration with SkyServe not only
facilitates their in-orbit STORM platform but also aligns with our mission to provide
comprehensive in-orbit services. Combining our technology with edge computer
providers, as we have with Unibap’s iX5 product, has enabled us to offer a novel route tospace for impactful solutions since 2023, throughout 24 and beyond".
D-Orbit has long been at the forefront of deploying software in-orbit, working within avibrant ecosystem, continually expanding its capabilities and infrastructure to support
innovative space technologies. This collaboration underscores D-Orbit's commitment todriving forward space innovation, providing customers with essential services todemonstrate their capabilities in orbit, while also offering continued support to anyone
looking to leverage the unique advantages of space for their technologies andapplications.
