“Limited power, limited downlink: reduce and prove the data before it leaves”
Cluster-grade analytics on a few watts.
Same analytics workflow on payload, vehicle or ground station
- Downlink is the bottleneck, so I need to decide what to send before I send it.
- Our analytics stack needs a server. My payload has a few watts and an ARM chip.
- When the link drops I lose data or I lose the plot.
- Same analytics workflow on payload, vehicle or ground station
- Continues through disruption, same verified result
- Products generated on board; only results go down the link
From today to the first result.
raw downlink to a ground-station server
The full scene goes down the link before anyone decides what matters, and a dropped link loses data or the plot.
The same workflow runs on the ARM64 payload and at the ground station, keeps going after a dropout and sends down decision-ready maps with an evidence package.
Run one stored scene through the workflow on the ground station and compare it with today's result.

Areas of interest are turned into the satellite tile grid that covers them, as a manifest for the next steps.

Why your tools fall short.
Cloud-native streaming and ETL assume stable network and generous RAM.
JVM-based engines have large footprints and start-up costs unsuited to small ARM nodes.
Custom C/Python reduction code is untested, un-auditable and not portable across missions.
- EDF and EUDIS calls on autonomy, ISR and space
- SNS JU 6G programmes emphasising device-edge-cloud continuum (cited in Vectorio xG deck)
Your pilot. Three steps.
Your data shape
Tell us what data you have, where it lives and what the result must be.
A scoped pilot
On your data and your hardware, with the success measure written down first.
A clear decision
You see the result against that measure — and keep every workflow and record.
