There isn’t really much benefit to having compute on orbit unless you’re working on VERY specific applications that have such tight latency requirements where you need to process the data immediately as it comes out of…
This is confusing terminology in the field, but you generally talk about the cross sectional area in the plane of the conjunction (https://www.space-track.org/documents/SFS_Handbook_For_Opera...) to calculate the…
Need to do a full read in more depth but it looks like they used a collision cross section of A=300 m^2, which is a little conservative but not insane given that the current Starlink v2 mini has about 90-120 m^2 of…
So other ways of combining greater numbers of microbatch gradients in an effective/consistent manner for performing an update is one area of potential future work. I think your idea is an interesting way to approach it.…
> 1. Do you think this is a form of variance reduction or more a form of curriculum (focus first on the bulk, then on remaining errors)? I'd say generally more of a cirriculum (using your terminology). Broadly speaking…
Great question! There are a few different aspects to this. With gradient agreement filtering having a greater number of batches (generally) increases the likelihood of finding another microbatch that agrees with the…
Co-author here. Super excited to see this work posted on HN! Happy to answer questions.
F10.7 is the measured solar power flux at 10.7 cm wavelength. It is measured all over the world but primarily from Penticton observatory in Canada. The largest source of uncertainty in orbit propagation for satellites…
Currently VC backed companies are barred from competing on SBIRs. There is legislation currently in the works to change that. But gov funding isn’t more common currently because you legally can’t do it. Edit: I need to…
