Hi
@Tothemoon24,
TCS Research is a really interesting prospect for us for sure. I'm still trying to work out where they might fit into the following, if at all.
Let me try and explain.
Here's an article published online 11 hours ago and it talks about Ubotica and NASA's new AI-powered autonomous satellite solution, which also comes with an ability to
analyse cloud cover.

As it happens, in May 2023 Tothemoon posted and article about
Ubotica and
Qualcomm who were working with
Nasa's JPL to develop AI algorithms that could help future space missions process raw data more efficiently to detect events like a volcanic eruptions, wildfires, flooding, harmful algal blooms, dramatic snowfalls, etc, which you can find out more about it in the link here, in which I replied to TTM's post with further comments on potential links in this project other companies such with Airbus and NimbleAI and the MESEO project.
Anyhooo, back to TCS Research and where they might fit in with all of this, if they even do!!!
Today, when reading about NASA and Ubotica's new autonomous system and it's ability to
analyse clouds, all I could think about was TCS Research paper entitled "Low Power & Low Latency Cloud Cover Detection in Small Satellites Using On-board Neuromorphic Processors" ( SEE BELOW).
I guess my line of thinking was that were are still partners with both NASA and TCS and maybe, thanks to these exiting partnerships, we are working behind the scenes, under the cover of darkness (or extreme cloudiness as the case may be

) with the likes of Ubotica and QUALCOMM.
I can't help but think that it's BrainChip's technology, not Qualcomm's which appears to be gaining traction in the defence and space sectors and endorsements from the likes of Lockheed Martin, Bascom Hunter, Airbus, Frontgrade Gaisler, Quantum Ventura, etc., might be enough to entice Qualcomm to say:
