Startup Xoople has partnered with defense and aerospace contractor L3Harris to develop a new satellite constellation. The joint project, dubbed 'Earth AI,' is designed to transform the planet into a persistent source of data for artificial intelligence systems.
The collaboration will leverage L3Harris's expertise in satellite manufacturing and Xoople's focus on data analytics. The constellation's primary objective is to generate a continuous, global data stream to feed machine learning models. Specific technical details regarding the number of satellites, orbital parameters, or sensor specifications were not disclosed in the announcement.
