Open Cosmos and Ubotica Technologies have partnered with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the Federated Autonomous Measurement Flight Demonstration (FAME) project. This initiative aims to create a network of over 50 satellites capable of real-time Earth observation and autonomous decision-making. The satellites, equipped with Ubotica's SPACE:AI platform, will monitor events such as wildfires and maritime incidents without waiting for ground analysis. FAME will demonstrate a shift from traditional data collection methods to an integrated system where satellites can autonomously detect and respond to events. The project builds on previous successful tests of dynamic targeting conducted in July 2025. The initial phase of FAME is set to begin this summer with six spacecraft, focusing on maturing flight capabilities and executing AI tests. This collaboration represents a significant advancement in satellite technology and Earth observation capabilities.

Key Points: • FAME project aims to connect over 50 satellites for real-time Earth observation. • Ubotica's AI enables satellites to autonomously detect and respond to events in orbit. • Initial phase of FAME will launch with six spacecraft this summer.
