KI-SENS
Project Overview
The KI-SENS project deals with AI-based sensor systems for space observation with small satellites. It is being carried out in collaboration with students from the student association WüSpace e.V.
Start of the project: 01.10.2022
Ende: 31.12.2024
FKZ: 50RU2227

- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hakan Kayal
The number of small satellites in orbit is growing steadily. Often, many satellites are launched into orbit at once. In the long term, this can lead to higher collision probabilities in orbit. In the KI-SENS project, intelligent optical sensors for space observation are being developed, which will be able to detect approaches and contribute to collision avoidance. Special about KI-SENS is that the work on the project is being carried out primarily by students from the student association WüSpace e.V..
The project is funded by the German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with funds from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
