SkyFed Launches Project to Deploy Federated Geodata Cubes on Nanosatellites
The SkyFed project aims to develop a prototype using a Raspberry Pi cluster with rasdaman technology on a low-cost nanosatellite to federate multi-petabyte data services like Copernicus archives. Launched on January 23, the initiative involves collaboration between rasdaman GmbH, Constructor University, and the Institute of Aerospace Technology (IAT). The project seeks to integrate data across various platforms and establish a large geo-data pool in orbit, supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

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.
