KaleidEO becomes first Indian firm to demonstrate edge computing in space

KaleidEO Space Systems became the first Indian firm to use edge computing to take high-resolution images with the help of an orbiting satellite in real-time. With this, the Bengaluru-based startup achieved a new milestone by becoming the first Indian firm to demonstrate edge computing in space. The company used deep learning-based algorithms to analyse imagery in orbit, as captured by Satellogic, a satellite constellation and data provider company based out of Montevideo, Uruguay. "We are thrilled to witness our groundbreaking achievement in edge computing in space. This milestone reflects our commitment to innovation and our dedication to revolutionising the space data analytics domain," said Arpan Kumar Sahoo, COO at KaleidEO. The recent demonstration paves the way for KaleidEO to build satellites that can not only capture images but will also be able to analyse those images by themselves. A subsidiary of SatSure Analytics, KaleidEO, aims to launch its four satellites in 2025.
