Although the sensors of numerous orbiting satellites collect a lot of information, the spacecraft lack the computing power to process the data on site. TechCrunch reports that startup Aethero intends to become "the Intel or NVIDIA of the space industry" - the company is developing radiation-hardened computers for edge computing on satellites. A few years ago, the founders of Aethero created a startup called Stratodyne, which was engaged in the construction of stratospheric balloons for remote sensing (RS). The company later closed, and the creators returned to studying embedded systems for hostile environments.
