TRL11’s primary system, called SAVER (Space Aware Video Edge-Compute Recorder), recorded 90 minutes of detailed full motion video from multiple camera angles, then used its edge processor to perform recursive, selective encoding for optimal data storage and resilient transmission.

Key Points: 
  • TRL11’s primary system, called SAVER (Space Aware Video Edge-Compute Recorder), recorded 90 minutes of detailed full motion video from multiple camera angles, then used its edge processor to perform recursive, selective encoding for optimal data storage and resilient transmission.
  • The first few seconds of video showed a serene space scene just beyond Earth's atmosphere, with another satellite clearly visible in the distance.
  • This milestone reinforces their strategy to bring full motion video to every spacecraft, and inspires the team to further enhance SAVER’s resilience against the challenges inherent in all space missions.
  • “We are very grateful to Vast for the partnership, to SpaceX for their rideshare services, and we look forward to many more partnerships in future!” said Verheem.
