ENORMITY: pErformance beNchmark Of Ramon space nustreaM wITh klepsYdra ai

工业研究项目Normity将调查增强的基于人工智能的卫星和航天器上的数据处理。这种数据处理一方面需要经过辐射加固的(抗辐射的)空间计算机和存储系统，另一方面需要人工智能软件来有效地处理这些计算机硬件上的数据。来自英国Ramon.Space的高性能抗辐射空间计算机与来自Kleopdra(CH)的高性能人工智能软件(与ETH，CH合作)将产生卫星系统的新能力，如地球观测卫星的星载特征探测和认知仪器，行星任务的基于人工智能的导航和着陆能力，以及增加在轨服务任务的自主性。巨型将使空间系统能够受益于人工智能为自主和远程控制的卫星和航天器提供的能力。今天，卫星不能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，导致处理错误和星载计算机重新启动，并在短暂的生命周期后最终失败，或者现有的抗辐射处理ASIC由于其非常特定的体系结构而难以编程。ENORMITY将首次将易于编程和易于使用的软件(SW)框架与强大的抗辐射硬空间弹性处理器相结合。巨无霸解决了不断增长的地球观测服务市场以及新兴的商业月球任务市场。此外，庞大的硬件/软件(硬件/软件)组合将对欧空局、美国宇航局、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。Normity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。

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.
