Deployment
Phi-Sat-1 at Europe
ESA technology-demonstration cubesat (launched 2020-09-03) and the first satellite to fly an onboard AI inference chip (Intel Movidius Myriad 2) for autonomy-as-product: it autonomously detects and discards cloud-covered hyperspectral imagery in orbit before downlink, so only useful data is transmitted. Observation targets are ground-planned; the cloud-filtering decision is made autonomously onboard.
