Key Enabling Technologies

The MESEO ecosystem is built on four complementary technology pillars that enable distributed, secure and intelligent Earth Observation services. The concrete prototypes and exploitable results associated with these pillars are presented separately in the Results section.


On-board Processing Functions AI-enabled processing capabilities executed directly on-board the satellite to reduce data volume, improve responsiveness and optimize bandwidth usage before data reaches the ground.	EO Coordination Centre & Ground Processing A distributed processing framework where mission-specific processing is combined with the EO Coordination Centre, enabling intelligent orchestration, data fusion and multi-mission service delivery.	Security A secure-by-design architecture providing trusted communications, protected interfaces, identity management and resilient processing across the complete Earth Observation processing chain.	Data Sovereignty Policy-driven data sharing based on Data Space concepts, ensuring that data owners retain full control over how their data is accessed, processed and exchanged across the federated ecosystem.

On-board Processing Functions
