The USGS seeks input on using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods to improve Landsat satellite flight operations, with responses due by December 13, 2024.
Note: This announcement does not constitute a request for quotes, proposals, or bids. Submission of any information in response to this market survey is purely voluntary.
The U.S. Geological Survey has issued a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for the purpose of conducting market research to identify potential sources and learn about industry capabilities, emerging technologies, and advanced AI / ML strategies for optimizing satellite flight operations.
The USGS is interested in AI/ML technologies applied to areas including, but not limited to, anomaly triage and telemetry trending and analysis, and welcomes information in other areas of flight operations to consider. The USGS has an extensive library of telemetry data from Landsat 8 and 9 that can be utilized in research and development activities.
This announcement is issued to help identify potential collaborators for a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to assess if and how AI/ML techniques can enhance decision making and operational efficiency to streamline satellite operations and improve mission reliability. Expected outcomes include a better understanding of the efficiency gains in flight operations through use of AI/ML technology and the feasibility of implementing AI/ML solutions across different satellite systems.
