South Australian AI company AICRAFT has announced a strategic partnership with CONTEC Space Optics (CSO) to provide ultra-fast edge computing modules designed to support CSO's state-of-the-art space telescopes.

CONTEC Space Optics, a leader in high-resolution Earth observation technologies, is renowned for developing cutting-edge optical payloads used in surveillance, reconnaissance, and Earth observation satellites.

As part of this collaboration, AICRAFT will enhance its Pulsar edge computing modules to provide high-speed data processing capabilities tailored to CSO's advanced optical systems. This will enable seamless data management and real-time analysis directly onboard satellites, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of critical missions. The two modules ordered will be responsible for managing large volumes of imaging data, drastically reducing latency and ensuring near-instantaneous insights.

"This collaboration underscores AICRAFT's commitment to driving innovation in space technology," said Dr. Tony Scoleri, Co-founder and CEO of AICRAFT. "By integrating our edge computing solutions with CSO's state-of-the-art optical payloads, we are aiming to set a new standard for satellite-based intelligence and imaging."

The partnership also reflects the growing collaboration between South Australia's thriving space industry and global leaders like CONTEC. This marks the second major order from a South Korean company, reinforcing AICRAFT's reputation as a trusted supplier of high-performance AI solutions for sectors requiring cutting-edge, reliable technologies.

"Partnering with AICRAFT aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver groundbreaking optical systems for the global space community," commented Dr. Youngwan (Young) Choi, CEO of CONTEC Space Optics. "Their expertise in edge computing will help us enhance the capabilities of our Earth observation systems in our future satellite constellation, benefiting our customers worldwide."

The partnership is expected to bring transformative advancements in satellite technology, with significant implications for industries such as agriculture, defense, disaster management, and environmental monitoring. Both companies are eager to explore further opportunities to push the boundaries of space exploration and data utilization.
