Satellite Communication as Shared Resource: Jakub Rezler on DOMINO-E’s Approach to Space Resource Management
Jakub Rezler, a leader at ITTI, discusses the Satellite Communication and Resource Management Service (SCRMS) within the DOMINO-E project. SCRMS transforms satellite communication by treating satellite networks as shared resources, enabling collaboration among operators. This approach optimizes data transfer schedules, reduces costs, and improves operational efficiency. Rezler explains how SCRMS manages complex satellite communication logistics, including real-time adjustments and conflict resolution, making it a game-changer for satellite resource management.
Optimizing the Skies: Gauthier Picard on Revolutionizing Satellite Image Acquisition with AI
Interview with Gauthier Piccard, a Senior Research Scientist at ONERA and Co-Head of the Artificial Intelligence Lab. Piccard leverages AI and optimization algorithms in the Domino-E project to improve satellite image acquisition. By automating satellite coordination, his work ensures efficient and rapid image capture across large areas. Using AI-driven approaches, Piccard tackles complex scheduling and decision-making challenges, helping satellites work together to deliver high-quality data for critical missions like environmental monitoring and disaster response.
One Domino at a Time: Daniel Novak (ADS) on the Future of the Earth Observation Architecture
The Domino architecture is a groundbreaking approach in Earth observation, focused on standardizing ground segments for satellite missions. By introducing modular, autonomous components called “Dominos,” it simplifies system integration, reduces development time, and lowers costs. This innovative framework allows different companies, including SMEs, to specialize in creating specific, standardized modules that seamlessly fit together. Similar to how the USB standard transformed IT, Domino enables greater collaboration across the space industry, fostering efficiency and innovation in Earth observation projects.
