A Hyderabad-based start-up is set to launch an artificial intelligence lab in space on board ISRO’s PSLV rocket next month, the company said here on Tuesday.TakeMe2Space, a space technology firm based in Hyderabad, said its ‘Orbital Infrastructure – Technology Demonstrator'(MOI-TD), billed as India’s first AI lab in space, will demonstrate real-time data processing in orbit, making space research more affordable and accessible.
The MOI-TD launch is scheduled for mid-December aboard ISRO’s PSLV C60 mission.
Satellites capture petabytes of data daily, of which up to 40 per cent is potentially unusable due to cloud cover or other factors, which has to be transmitted to Earth for processing.
