Summary

Why is AI-based onboard processing is crucial for edge computing satellites? Reduced bandwidth, faster decision-making, improved security, enhanced autonomy and scalability.

With satellite edge computing providing real-time processing, only relevant data is transmitted back to Earth, reducing latency and improving response times. New edge computing satellite architectures use the latest FPGAs. 

Although FPGAs are more power hungry than their comparable microprocessors, the ability to easily reconfigure FPGAs once a satellite is flying makes them the preferred choice. After all, satellites are inherently power-limited and radiation exposed: the same power architectures that work for ground systems don’t translate well into edge computing satellites.

In this webinar, you will learn how to optimize power processing and memory for AI implementation of edge inference in a radiation and power-limited space.
