Europe · Neural-compression enabling software research
This project focuses on neural-compression enabling software research.
Embed2Scale researches neural embeddings for EO and weather-data federation, using ground HPC training and reusable compressed representations. DLR explicitly connects this research to AI analysis on constrained satellite hardware. NeuCo-Bench evaluates application quality. No selected onboard computer, flight deployment or measured orbital compression is established.
Martel Innovate / Embed2Scale consortium · Research and development
Scope: Enabling research · Named neural-compression research with explicit prospective onboard-AI relevance and no defined shared orbital platform.

Embed2Scale research participants (opens in a new tab)Manual review 2 Nov 2026. Compared DLR onboard-AI rationale with the formal CORDIS ground-training/data-federation objectives. Captured research targets, consortium/adviser roles and EU contribution without treating this as an operating platform or allocating all funding to orbital work. Primary body last observed not available. Source monitoring: unavailable. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.
DLR research account and CORDIS GA101131841 (opens in a new tab)Verified announcements and milestones linked to this project, newest first.
CORDIS records a USD 2,936,402 (EUR2,618,047.50) EU contribution to Embed2Scale, coordinated by Martel Innovate. The grant was signed on December11,2023 and runs January2024–December2026. It develops HPC-trained neural compressors, targeting up to1000-fold compression for EO and weather-data exchange across four application families.
DLR describes Embed2Scale neural embeddings as a way to make AI analysis feasible on constrained satellite hardware. Its July2025 account reports NeuCo-Bench and Earth2Vec activities and discussions with ICEYE and OroraTech advisers. The research also serves distributed ground data centers and does not establish an onboard implementation or flight result.
