Benefiting from the development of greater computing capacities of novel processors and novel ways of processing data, future satellites may not only be able to acquire and transmit satellite imagery down to Earth but also process satellite imagery on board to speed up the use of space-based information in early warning applications. The following example presents information on a project geared to demonstrate the feasibility of such on-board developments.
