\"Firefly<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Firefly Aerospace<\/strong> an end-to-end space transportation company, announced a new agreement to host the Klepsydra Artificial Intelligence (AI) application on Firefly\u2019s Elytra<\/strong> vehicle that will launch aboard Alpha later this year. By serving as an edge computing platform in space, Elytra is equipped to support a variety of hosted software applications with real-time data processing in orbit.<\/p>\n

\u201cEdge computing in space is the key to overcome critical bandwidth challenges that come with downlinking massive volumes of data from spacecraft to ground stations on Earth,\u201d said Jana Spruce<\/strong>, Vice President of Spacecraft.<\/strong> \u201cRather than relaying all this data to the ground, Elytra\u2019s edge compute platform enables onboard data processing to support real-time decision making and a wide range of autonomous applications, such as space domain awareness, anomaly detection, and vision navigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designed and built in-house at Firefly, Elytra\u2019s edge compute platform interfaces directly with the vehicle\u2019s core avionics with the ability to receive payload, sensor, and camera telemetry data. The platform runs software applications as a service, enabling rapid data processing on orbit before downlinking the post-processed data of interest to customers.<\/p>\n

As part of Elytra Mission 1<\/strong>, Klepsydra Technologies will utilize Elytra\u2019s edge compute platform to further test and validate its AI navigation application. Klepsydra\u2019s AI models will process sensor data onboard and relay the processed data back to Earth, providing real-time attitude determination, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC). Klepsydra will also deploy a second algorithm for cloud detection that will demonstrate the ability to dynamically switch AI applications onboard, paving the way for Klepsydra\u2019s AI-as-a-service solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply honored by the trust Firefly has placed in us as we demonstrate our ground-breaking AI software for space processors,\u201d said Pablo Ghiglino<\/strong>, CEO of Klepsydra Technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elytra will serve as an edge computing platform for hosted software customers for up to one year in orbit during Elytra Mission 1. Following separation from Firefly\u2019s Alpha rocket, Elytra will first deploy commercial payloads and support a responsive space demonstration for the NRO, which includes performing an on-orbit maneuver and deploying additional U.S. government payloads on-demand.<\/p>\n
