Israeli company Remondo and South Korean firm Meissa have signed a cooperation agreement to develop an autonomous Earth observation satellite system utilizing artificial intelligence. The new technology aims to combine high-precision satellite imagery with automated observation planning, image processing, and data delivery to users, according to the Israel Space Agency. The AI is intended to enable satellites to independently select observation targets based on incoming information and shifting priorities. Algorithms will be employed for planning image acquisition, processing received images, and identifying crucial details. Developers anticipate a significant reduction in the time between an event occurring on Earth and receiving information about it.
Remondo is currently developing its PAIS (Partial Aperture Imaging System), which uses multiple small mirrors and image reconstruction algorithms to enable small, relatively inexpensive satellites to capture Earth images at very high resolutions, aiming for better than 20-centimeter resolution, with future goals of better than 10 centimeters. This technology will now be enhanced with software solutions from Meissa. The collaboration will involve joint research, AI algorithm development, and testing the compatibility of Remondo's optical equipment with Meissa's software platforms.
The future system is envisioned for applications such as monitoring natural disasters, environmental changes, agriculture, infrastructure, and defense tasks. The current focus is on technology development and integration, not the launch of a complete satellite constellation.
