Leopard ISS

This study will install the Leopard Data Processing Unit (DPU) on the ISS, which will act as part of digital system to enable clients to remotely test and verify computational algorithms in real space conditions without needing to physically acquire hardware. Testing in space is a vital step for algorithms before they are used in satellites. Other exporation-enabling software will also be tested, such as 3D mapping for spacecraft maneuvers and robotic exploration. This project aims to advance onboard data processing for space applications but also aims towards faster, more efficient satellite operations, potentially transforming data handling in space and on Earth.
