IWPSS 2025: Cloud Nowcasting using Artificial Intelligence for Spacecraft Observation Planning
30/04/2025
Meandair presents collaborative research with Ubotica Technologies at IWPSS 2025 (International Workshop on Planning & Scheduling for Space) in Toulouse.
Session W3: Weather Uncertainty.
The research highlights how high-resolution, near real-time cloud forecasts by the Meandair Nowcasting Weather Engine can significantly improve optical satellite task planning.
The results show Meandair enables smarter observation scheduling by predicting cloud interference before a satellite captures imagery - saving power, bandwidth, and operational time. The breakthrough complements on-board cloud detection systems and marks a step forward in dynamic and efficient satellite operations.
