with LinkStar
QuickSAT/Autonomy can be used to fuse sensor data,
such as data from hyperspectral cameras and other
sensors to sense and perceive events and conditions. The
event/condition is transmitted to the ground - the cubesat
can autonomously act on the event/condition. The event/
condition can be transmitted efficiently and quickly (in as
little as 0.2 seconds depending on the radio system). The
operator can download the large raw data as needed at a
later time.
