Researchers have developed Constraint-Aware Execution (CAE), a planning system designed to optimize compute workloads for satellites. CAE addresses the challenge of limited downlink capacity by intelligently deciding which computations run on-board versus on the ground. The system constructs orbital environments, places compute tasks based on cost models, and schedules data transfers within orbital windows, considering various resource constraints. CAE has been deployed as a production API and can generate feasible execution plans in under two seconds. AI
