Flexible Natural Language-Based Image Data Downlink Prioritization for Nanosatellites
Ezra Fielding,

Abstract:Nanosatellites increasingly produce more data than can be downlinked within a reasonable time due to their limited bandwidth and power. Therefore, an on-board system is required to prioritize scientifically significant data for downlinking, as described by scientists. This paper determines whether natural language processing can be used to prioritize remote sensing images on CubeSats with more flexibility compared to existing methods. Two approaches implementing the same conceptual prioritization pipeline are … Show more
