AI is not only changing the way in which satellite data can be analysed on the ground, it is also beginning to be used on the satellites themselves when in orbit. This provides an algorithm on-board the satellite to analyse the data before it is sent down, which improves the efficiency of sending EO data back to Earth by filtering out images which aren’t suitable such as those with high amounts of cloud cover.
