Two shoebox-sized supercomputer satellites, built in Scotland to monitor shipping movements from low-Earth orbit, have successfully been launched. Each nanosatellite has an onboard supercomputer with machine learning algorithms that can provide ‘hyper-accurate predictions’ of the locations of boats. The the so-called ‘Spire’ satellites will calculate their arrival times at ports to help businesses and authorities … Read more
