In partnership with Ubotica Technologies, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory is demonstrating state-of-the-art data analysis onboard CogniSAT-6/HAMMER (CS-6). CS-6 is a satellite with a visible and near infrared range hyperspectral instrument and neural network acceleration hardware. Performing data analysis at the edge (e.g. onboard) can enable new Earth science measurements and responses. We will demonstrate data analysis and inference onboard CS-6 for numerous applications using deep learning and spectral analysis algorithms.
