Abstract
A system and method of controlling a constellation of nanosatellites colocates processing resources with sensors in each satellite. Latencies in data transmission are addressed by organizing the constellation of satellites into computational pipelines. An orbital edge computing module simulates system design for mission design, planning and analysis in addition to supporting online autonomy.
