In a series of world firsts, the Frontier Development Lab (FDL) programme in collaboration with ESA has achieved significant results in the field of Cognitive Cloud Computing in Space (3CS). In experiments on a D-Orbit InOrbit NOW satellite carrier mission, FDL has shown how a Machine Learning (ML) payload can reduce downlink latency, easily adapt to different optical instruments and be updated directly in space, while enabling fast information extraction and delivery to end users. FDL has also created an ML payload for third-party application hosting, launched on the latest D-Orbit mission in January.
