An autonomous earth-observing sensorWeb

Abstract

We discuss the various features of the Earth-observing sensorWeb developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Goddard Space Flight Center, which provide the key science data about eruptions within hours for the volcanologists around the world. Onboard AI software evaluates the request, orients the spacecraft, and operates the science instruments to acquire high-resolution images with hyperspectral data for science analysis.
