Open Cosmos<\/strong>, the company building satellites to understand and connect the world, has partnered with Ubotica Technologies<\/strong> to bring advanced artificial intelligence into orbit through collaboration on the Flight Demonstration of Federated Autonomous Measurement (FAME) – a project led by NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). <\/p>\n

The collaboration will see two of Open Cosmos\u2019 operational satellites, equipped with Ubotica\u2019s SPACE: AI platform, form part of the FAME network under the Advanced Information Systems Technology programme in NASA\u2019s Earth Science and Technology Office. FAME will demonstrate a new paradigm for Earth observation – connecting more than 50 satellites into a federated, intelligent network capable of autonomously detecting, analysing and responding to events in near real-time.<\/p>\n

At the heart of Open Cosmos\u2019 contribution are two AI-enabled satellites, HAMMER and Accenture-1 (SUAC), equipped with hyperspectral imaging capabilities and onboard artificial intelligence powered by Ubotica\u2019s platform. Open Cosmos developed, designed, manufactured and operated these satellites for information delivery in real-time to the end user.  All Open Cosmos satellites in the Open Constellation have these advanced capabilities.<\/p>\n

This is advancing a step-change in how satellite data is captured and acted upon – moving from delayed, ground-based analysis to real-time, in-orbit decision-making. This approach dramatically reduces latency across both satellite tasking and data delivery, enabling an end-to-end system where insights can be generated and acted upon within minutes rather than hours or days.<\/p>\n

Traditional Earth observation systems rely on satellites passively collecting data, which is then downlinked and analysed on the ground. The FAME project will enable a group of satellites to detect events of interest directly onboard using AI, autonomously re-task themselves or other satellites and coordinate across a wider constellation without human intervention. This creates a fully integrated, responsive system capable of applications such as maritime monitoring, disaster response and environmental change detection – delivering actionable intelligence at unprecedented speed. <\/p>\n

Rafel Jord\u00e1 Siquier, CEO of Open Cosmos, said: <\/strong>“At <\/em>Open Cosmos<\/em>, we design and build satellite missions to help understand and connect our world. By contributing our AI-enabled spacecrafts to <\/em>FAME<\/em>, we are helping to unlock a new generation of autonomous, coordinated Earth observation systems. This collaboration marks an important step towards a future where satellites are not just collecting data but intelligently interpreting and acting on it in real time. <\/em>Through this partnership, we are at the forefront of reducing the latency of both satellite tasking and data repatriation as part of an end-to-end system. This agreement marks a significant milestone in autonomous satellite operations and onboard data processing, setting a new standard for end-to-end system efficiency in space.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Open Cosmos and Ubotica are building on capabilities already successfully demonstrated in orbit through Dynamic Targeting, a technology developed by NASA JPL and first proved in space by all three parties in July 2025. This includes real-time onboard data processing, which enables satellites to identify events of interest nearly instantly, as well as autonomous dynamic targeting, allowing spacecraft to rapidly reposition and capture follow-up imagery without the need for ground intervention. FAME represents the next evolution of Dynamic Targeting – scaling these capabilities across a multi-operator, federated satellite network.<\/p>\n

Fintan Buckley, CEO of Ubotica Technologies, added:<\/strong> “Dynamic Targeting showed what a single satellite with onboard <\/em>AI <\/em>can achieve. FAME shows what happens when that capability is coordinated across a network. Our contribution is the intelligence inside the Ubotica nodes: detecting what matters, processing it in orbit, and passing the signal to whatever asset can act on it fastest. That is how you close the loop at a speed that is actually useful.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The FAME Flight Demonstration is expected to begin in summer 2026 with an initial set of six spacecraft, before scaling to a network of more than 50 satellites. Over the three-year project, the system will process thousands of automated alerts and execute autonomous tasking across assets from multiple operators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
