Loft Orbital is collaborating with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on a project called Federated Autonomous Measurement (FAME) to test artificial intelligence models on spacecraft for Earth observation. The initiative aims to automate the process of identifying and analyzing features of interest in real-time, reducing the need to downlink large amounts of data for ground analysis. This project leverages advancements in smaller, high-performance AI models and satellite infrastructure, with initial tests already underway and further deployments planned for 2027 and 2028. AI
IMPACT Enables real-time Earth observation insights from space, potentially accelerating responses to events like wildfires and pollution.
