Intel has patented a novel two-tier satellite network architecture that would move computing and control functions from ground-based data centers to higher-orbit satellites. This system would manage large constellations of simpler, lower-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, handling tasks like routing, mission planning, and network coordination. The proposed design aims to reduce reliance on terrestrial infrastructure, enabling faster decision-making and potentially allowing for simpler, less expensive LEO satellites. AI
IMPACT This architecture could enable more complex and efficient satellite operations, potentially supporting future AI-driven space applications.
