We launched our first satellite DISCO-1 into Low Earth Orbit in April 2023 and we will launch a second DISCO-2 in 2024. In this project you will gain experience with automating live satellite operations and communications, completing a groundstation at the Rued Langaards Vej site for use with both satellites. The DISCO satellite radio transceiver is implemented as a hardware module and uses a networking protocol called CSP which runs over a GMSK modulated UHF radio link. https://dasya.itu.dk/for-students/proposals/archive/jucp-disco2-new-pipeline/ Sun, 13 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://dasya.itu.dk/for-students/proposals/archive/jucp-disco2-new-pipeline/ The DISCO-2 satellite will have accelerated machine learning capability based on the inclusion of a Coral TPU ML accelerator module. This will allow images taken by the satellite to be analaysed on satellite using a variety of ML models, with only select images sent back to Earth. This approach allows for more flexibility in image aquisition and saves downlink bandwidth which is very constrained in the case of DISCO-2. This project will address the entire image pipeline including pre-processing of images on the satellite after aquisition for insertion into the ML pipeline, the selection of images based on the results of ML analysis, the transfer of images to the groundstation and the data storage and presentation of the images.
