NIO.space: First ever change detection ML deployed and retrained in orbit

Frontier Development Lab (FDL) is a public-private partnership with ESA in Europe and NASA in the USA. FDL works with commercial partners to apply AI technologies to space science, to push the frontiers of research and develop new tools to help solve some of the biggest challenges that humanity faces. These range from the affects of climate change to predicting space weather, from improving disaster response, to identifying meteorites that could hold the key to the history of our universe.

FDL Europe 2021 was a research sprint hosted by the University of Oxford, that takes place over a period of eight weeks in order to promote rapid learning and research outcomes in a collaborative atmosphere. This case study has been enabled by FDL alongside Phi-Lab (ESRIN) and ESA Mission Operations (ESOC), Trillium Technologies and the University of Oxford; the project has been also supported by Google Cloud, D-Orbit and Planet.
