Partnering With SkyServe, Loft Orbital Will Implement AI-Based Computing In YAM-6 Satellite

JAKARTA Loft Orbital, a space infrastructure provider, is working with the StartupSkyServe. Through this partnership, the Loft Orbital will use computiedge capabilities on satellites. Announced on the official SkyServe blog, this edge computing platform is referred to as the SkyServe STORM. This solution will be implemented on the YAM-6 satellite which was launched on March 4 and its implementation process is called Mission Denali. Using SkyServe's solution, the Loft Orbital wants to demonstrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities by analyzing the optical and hyperspecteral images produced by YAM-6. Hopefully, this AI model can be applied to customers. SkyServe Chief Executive Vinay Simha said that it strongly supports Mission Denali. The reason is, the goal of the Loft Orbital is in line with SkyServe's ambitious mission, which is to provide an important space infrastructure for customers. "We are proud to work with Loft to provide important space infrastructure and multi-sensor data processing for the ambitious SkyServe mission to build important values for downstream users," said Vinay, quoted fromSpacenews.

On the other hand, the Head of Products for Virtual Missions Loft Orbital, total Pulcini-Baldwin, once said that the YAM-6 mission, referred to as a virtual mission, would provide opportunities for the company's progress in shortening time to orbit.Baldwin also said that software with computing power like SkyServe STORM is very useful for the company. This software will create a new point of view in AI application and machine learning. During this partnership, SkyServe STORM will define a space-based data processing paradigm through real-time multispectral and hyperspectral data. Later, STORM can provide processed insights using the Dige.SkyServe STORM will use the AI model to provide predictions according to the demands of Loft Orbital, such as forest fires tracking and irrigation. STORM can also monitor carbon, monitor maritime, energy, and utility.
