Attributed to Clint Crosier, Director of aerospace and satellite solutions at Amazon Web Services (AWS)Today at AWS re:Invent 2022, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that it successfully ran a suite of AWS compute and machine learning (ML) software on an orbiting satellite, in a first-of-its-kind space experiment. “Using AWS software to perform real-time data analysis onboard an orbiting satellite, and delivering that analysis directly to decision makers via the cloud, is a definite shift in existing approaches to space data management. By applying AWS compute and machine learning services to Earth Observation (EO) imagery, D-Orbit was able to rapidly analyze large quantities of space data directly onboard its orbiting ION satellite. By applying AWS compute and machine learning services to Earth observation (EO) imagery, D-Orbit was able to rapidly analyze large quantities of space data directly onboard its orbiting ION satellite. “Ultimately, AWS believes that giving customers the ability to evaluate their space data quickly and securely using AWS on-orbit will help them make critical decisions faster,” said Peterson.
