- MobiusHorizons 1y agoright, what would those computation needs be? That's the question I was asking.
- fspeech 1y agoOne can imagine that for remote sensing like real time tracking of moving objects it is more efficient to have the nano sats with optics flying at lower orbits and have processing done in sats in higher orbits. This way the resolution is higher with the same optics while the compute resources can be pooled in larger, more powerful sats in more durable orbits.
