Description
Galaxia Mission Systems is a Halifax-based company specializing in plug and play hardware for satellites that allows for real-time Earth observation (EO) and data processing backed up by AWS compute services for more detailed analysis. Customers can buy the hardware or data flows (pay-per-use).
Using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify useful features while still in orbit on the satellite is a form of edge computing. Doing this can dramatically improve the time required to produce customer insights, and the processing required when imagery arrives on cloud systems. Their roots as an AI company are on display in this video from mid-2021.

The creation of commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) technical systems is one driver pushing the cost of building satellites down. By itself, COTS is not enough. Once the technical develop ment is completed, the company requires enough customers to develop scale, so optimization can occur.
