For automated decision-making to be achieved within the new paradigm of dynamic space operations, it is important to integrate data collection and exploitation into the mission planning and execution processes. Once collected this data is invaluable in enabling operators and autonomous decision-making processes to be trained. ExoAnalyitic is leading the world in providing organized datasets for these purposes. During this interactive session, Dr. Brien Flewelling will introduce you to new technological advancements that support rapid understanding of space operations that are driven by the provision of low-latency, space domain awareness data, in a consumable format, at scale.
