We are excited to announce that we signed an LOI with Blue Planet to provide a custom on-board processing device which can detect the presence of clouds in photos and adjust the onboard compression ratio in real-time to optimize downlink bandwidth. This will greatly reduce the per pixel cost of Blue Planet images taken from space.

​

Blue Planet described our device as an “enabling technology” for their mission. The company’s core technology is developing the cameras and ground station network for a constellation of Earth Observation satellites that can “Xerox” the Earth everyday and also provides a web portal where customers can log in at any time to view their data and images.
