Domino-E at IWPSS 2025: Driving the Future of Earth Observation Planning

Clean conceptual illustration of a Domino-based GsaaS; created with DALL·E 2025.

The International Workshop on Planning and Scheduling for Space is the place to be for breakthroughs in AI-powered satellite operations — and this year, Domino-E is front and center.

With three scientific papers directly emerging from the project and two more featuring Domino-E researchers, the initiative is clearly influencing how we approach modular, intelligent, and scalable ground segment architectures for Earth observation.
