The industrial research project ENORMITY shall investigate enhanced AI-based data processing on-board satellites and spacecraft. Such data processing requires on one hand radiation hardened (rad-hard) Space computer and storage systems and on the other hand AI software to efficiently process the data on this computer hardware.The combination of the high-performance rad-hard space computer from Ramon.Space (UK) with the high-performance AI software from Klepsydra (CH) (in collaboration with ETH, CH) will result in new capabilities of satellite systems, such as on-board feature detection and cognitive instrument for Earth Observation satellites, AI based navigation and landing capabilities for planetary missions, and increased autonomy for In-Orbit Service missions. ENORMITY will enable Space systems to benefit from capabilities AI can provide to autonomous and remote-controlled satellites and spacecraft. Today, satellites cannot fully benefit from AI, as either AI accelerator Integrated Circuits (ICs) are unable to withstand the harsh radiation conditions in space, causing processing errors and re-boots of on-board computers and terminally failing after short lifetime, or the available rad-hard processing ASICs are difficult to program due to their very specific architectures.ENORMITY will for the first time combine an easy to program and easy-to-use software (SW) framework with powerful rad-hard Space-resilient processors. ENORMITY addresses the growing market of Earth Observation services as well as the nascent market of commercial lunar missions. In addition, the ENORMITY Hardware / Software (HW/SW) combination will be very useful for future scientific missions for ESA, NASA, JAXA and other Space exploration agencies. ENORMITY also opens the path for new capabilities such as enabling Vision Transformer AI models using the same HW/SW architecture.

ENORMITY工业研究项目将研究增强的基于人工智能的卫星和航天器上的数据处理。这样的数据处理一方面需要辐射硬化（rad-hard）空间计算机和存储系统，另一方面，人工智能软件可以有效地处理计算机硬件上的数据。Ramon.Space（英国）的高性能rad-hard空间计算机与Klepsydra（CH）的高性能人工智能软件相结合（与ETH，CH合作）将为卫星系统带来新的能力，例如地球观测卫星的机载特征检测和认知仪器，基于人工智能的导航和行星任务着陆能力，提高在轨服务任务的自主性。ENORMITY将使太空系统能够受益于人工智能可以为自主和遥控卫星和航天器提供的功能。今天，卫星无法完全受益于人工智能，因为人工智能加速器集成电路（IC）无法承受太空中恶劣的辐射条件，导致处理错误和机载计算机重新启动，并在短寿命后最终失败，或者现有的抗辐射处理ASIC由于其非常特殊的架构而难以编程。ENORMITY将首次将易于编程和易于编程相结合，使用软件（SW）框架，具有强大的抗辐射空间弹性处理器。ENORMITY致力于不断增长的地球观测服务市场以及商业月球任务的新兴市场。此外，ENORMITY硬件/软件（HW/SW）组合将对欧空局、美国航天局、日本宇宙航空研究开发机构和其他空间探索机构未来的科学任务非常有用。ENORMITY还为新功能开辟了道路，例如使用相同的硬件/软件架构启用Vision Transformer AI模型。
