EO-ALERT onboard processing chain

This project focuses on earth-observation onboard-processing research.


CORDIS reports EO-ALERT completed an Earth-observation processing-chain proof of concept. Final tests processed optical and radar satellite data on the ground, with roughly one-minute vessel detection/classification and one-minute global delivery. An operational in-orbit demonstration was a next step, not a completed result. The program ended in November2021 and received EUR4.772 million in EU funding.

Elecnor Deimos-led consortium · Ground proof of concept completed

Scope: Mission-specific processing · Architecture processes an Earth-observation mission own imagery and alerts. Not a shared cloud-computing service.

NEXT MILESTONE

Follow a dated official operational orbital-demonstration result, if published.

Manual review 31 Oct 2026. Compared CORDIS ground-system results with the existing SAR breadboard configuration. Added distinct detection, global-relay and latency-target stages. These do not establish an operational orbital demonstration. Primary body last observed not available. Source monitoring: unavailable. Source collection and substantive profile review are separate checks. Plans and dates may change.

WHAT REMAINS UNKNOWN
  • A later operational orbital demonstration and named flight hardware are not established by this historical results article.
  • Consortium membership alone does not establish procurement orders or individual technical work packages.
