High computational power and AI aboard satellites (SATAI)
Description
A structured inventory of potential use cases is developed for onboard satellite AI compute, organised across application domains and AI capability types, with key system assumptions and qualitative assessments of feasibility, novelty, and impact.
Selected use cases are then refined into detailed, implementation-oriented scenarios through a prioritisation process, including architectural design, resource mapping,and proof-of-concept validation under defined operational assumptions.
