Satellite High-Performance Data Processing

We develop a Digital Space​

Today’s satellites are inherently inflexible and purpose-built for a single mission, relying heavily on the ground segment to analyze data. The space market is looking for on-board flexibility / on-board reconfiguration targeting the digitalization of payload for earth observation and space exploration missions. Furthermore, there is an increasing interest for the availability of AI-oriented hardware devices allowing tasks such as deep learning inference and pre-processing of sensor data in-orbit. OHB Hellas is dedicated to the development of the high-performance data processing on-board satellites technology, complementing the competencies of the OHB group and promoting space solutions Made-in-Greece.

GIASaaS

Global InstAnt Satellite as a Service

Enter

Hello, World! is often the first very simple computer program. GIASaaS, pronounced: /ˈʝasas/ means “Hello” in Greek.  The page aims to demo the products and services of the company.

Hardware Acceleration​

Hardware acceleration leverages specialized computing systems integrated within the satellite, such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), or dedicated Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). These units execute complex and computationally intensive tasks faster and more efficiently than traditional processors.

Firmware Virtualization

Firmware is the embedded software that controls the satellite on-board processing unit. It manages the interaction with hardware, controls data flow and coordinates the execution of software applications. The incorporation of virtualization techniques abstracts the hardware layer from the software, facilitating development and enabling multiple applications to be deployed on the satellite in a secure and flexible manner.

AI/ML For Space

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have emerged as promising techniques for advanced data processing on board satellites. AI/ML algorithms, as part of the on-board software, can perform tasks such as image classification, anomaly detection, feature extraction, and predictive analytics. These tasks enable autonomous decision-making and direct extraction of meaningful insights from the data collected in space.
