SkyFed Launches Project to Deploy Federated Geodata Cubes on Nanosatellites
SkyFed has initiated a project to create federated geodata cubes in space, utilizing rasdaman technology on a Raspberry Pi cluster installed on a low-cost nanosatellite. This project officially kicked off on January 23, with key participants including Prof.
Dr. Peter Baumann from Constructor University and Prof. Dr.
Antonio Francisco Garcia Marin from Bremen University of Applied Sciences. The collaboration involves rasdaman GmbH and the Institute of Aerospace Technology (IAT) to develop smart satellites operating as a constellation, federated with existing multi-petabyte data centers.
The project will facilitate data integration and edge intelligence across various platforms, establishing a significant geo-data pool in orbit. The two-year initiative is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
