Shield AI and Sedaro demonstrate trusted autonomy capabilities on NOVI satellite

This post details the first on-orbit demonstration of Shield AI's Hivemind pilot on a NOVI satellite in LEO. Hivemind, in collaboration with Sedaro's SAFE framework, performed multi-objective optimization for a six-satellite constellation, balancing imaging tasking, spacecraft health, battery state of charge, and pointing. The system executed 189 Hivemind-generated and SAFE-approved commands over a 24-hour period. A second experiment showed SAFE and Sedaro's EDS increasing satellite communication contact initiation by 8 percentage points. This extends Hivemind's autonomy from airborne platforms to operational satellites, demonstrating its capability for ISR missions and reducing operator workload in satellite constellations.
