Send your code into space and develop "the greatest work" together

“ Change the world with technology ” Is the ultimate ideal of many programmers ,

Hua Wei Yun “ The most marginal people ”—— Code up Master AP ,

A big step towards this ideal .

Because his code was The world's first cloud primary satellite was sent into space .

AP and the team incubate and open source through Huawei cloud Cloud native edge computing platform KubeEdge And edge cloud collaboration AI frame Sedna, Let the satellite have “ Think for yourself ” The ability of .

Now? , Often look up at the sky , AP will be very happy .Sedna It is the farthest celestial body from the earth in the solar system , AP said they gave this edge AI The name of the project is Sedna, Just like the vision of studying edge computing , Explore the edge of edge technology and infinite possibilities .

@ developer , You also have a chance to send code to heaven

Do you want to be like AP , Change the world with technology ？

Now? , Huawei cloud sincerely invites developers to send the code into space , Click the link To sign up 【 Huawei developers competition · Code on the space track 】, Challenge 15 Ten thousand yuan prize gold pool ！

The selected works will have the opportunity to pass the world's first... Jointly designed by Huawei cloud and Beijing post “ Cloud native satellite computing platform ”, Deploy to “ Celestial constellation ” Of the planned satellites , Realization “ Enjoy the sea of stars ”.

7 month 15 Japan , Huawei cloud will also bring live broadcast of code interpretation of space challenge . AP and his little buddy Jason , Together with the head of beiyou-1 satellite system platform 、 Xing Ruoling, technical director of Tiansuan constellation test platform , Let's talk about the technology behind the code in space . Click the link Reservation live broadcast .

We also expect developers to have more ideas , Based on all kinds of on-board computing equipment 、 Data of onboard sensor equipment , And make full use of Huawei cloud native 、AI And other tools and capabilities , Developed It is suitable for innovative applications of satellites . such as ：

● Use AI Technology to process satellite data

The orbit of the satellite in orbit is affected by the earth's gravity 、 Solar activity is influenced by many complex factors , It is difficult to accurately predict the satellite orbit . use GPS Data and artificial intelligence methods can provide orbit extrapolation accuracy , It will effectively reduce the cost of satellite in orbit operation , Improve the autonomy of satellites , Improve constellation formation and retention .

It will be of great value in the coming age of stars , Satellite data analysis can also be carried out based on Huawei cloud big data analysis tool .

● Satellite earth cooperative telemetry image analysis

be based on Sedna and AI Development framework ModelBox, Realize an energy-efficient application of on-board target recognition . For example, the estimated yield of crops 、 The evolution of desert forests 、 Urban land resource planning and so on .

● Design and implement the satellite ground integrated container management system

The satellite ground integrated container management system helps to build automation 、 Intelligent satellite application management platform , Improve application construction 、 Release 、 Convenience of use and operation and maintenance , Give full play to the value of satellites . Developers can be based on Huawei cloud KubeEdge Project and carry out targeted design and transformation of key components , Realize the container orchestration management of satellite ground collaboration .

With edge computing , Satellites become more “ smart ”

Why do we need to use edge computing to help satellites become more intelligent ？

Communication 、 Traditional satellites represented by remote sensing , Only storage capacity , Only the stored data can be transmitted back to the ground , Do not have on-board processing capability . But with more and more different satellites in orbit , More and more data are generated , The amount of data generated by the satellite itself has actually exceeded the amount of data transmitted by the satellite , This requires real-time processing of satellites in orbit , Discard some redundant data .

To make satellites smarter , AP and the team according to its characteristics , Yes KubeEdge System and lightweight AI The reasoning model Sedna Refactored , Let the satellite have satellite ground coordination AI Ability and multitasking .

The cloud native edge computing platform used by this satellite KubeEdge, It can realize satellite on satellite computing processing , And through edge cloud collaboration AI frame Sedna, It can support the use of very few resources on the satellite for better support AI The effect of reasoning , Improve the on orbit reasoning ability of satellites . Let it be in the key work , Perform better .

Take the meteorological flood disaster as an example , The cloud primary satellite is Sedna With the help of the , Through on orbit AI Reasoning will be covered with clouds and snow 50% Low quality image data is discarded , Reduce transmission pressure . After the effective pictures are sent back , Huawei cloud high precision is used in the central node with rich computing resources AI Model operation , Shorten image preprocessing 、 Water extraction 、 Time when the monitoring report was generated , From the usual 1 The days are shortened to 1 Hours , Significantly improve emergency response time .

Load the satellite APP, Explore more innovative applications

In the past, there were corresponding tasks in the development of satellites , After launch, you can only complete specific tasks . When the satellite has a cloud native edge computing platform , Satellite edge missions can be updated as needed , Researchers can also build an environment for unified management of all resources on the satellite .

“ Celestial constellation ” Chief scientist 、 Professor wangshangguang of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications explained ：

In the past, satellites were like old mobile phones, which could only make calls , Can't do other tasks . With the original cloud, smart satellites are like today's smart phones , You can install all kinds of APP And software , It is classified for environmental monitoring or scientific research experiments , More powerful .

Take environmental monitoring as an example , The use of smart satellites , Not only will the emergency response time be reduced from “ Sky class ” Down to “ Hour scale ”, And after the satellite edge mission support is updated on demand , Can pass on orbit AI Reasoning , Compare the pictures before and after the rainstorm , Speculate the risk of mountain collapse , Predict the hidden dangers of geological disasters in advance , And give an early warning .

Last , Welcome more developers to join , Let the satellite better serve Emergency communications 、 Ecological monitoring 、 Disaster prevention and mitigation 、 urban construction etc. .

Sign up for Huawei developer competition , Send code into space , Install exclusive for satellites far away from earth “APP”, Make satellites more “ have good ears and eyes ”, Explore more possibilities for edge computing applications .
