Rwanda: Six Rwandan Students Develop Tech to Power China's First AI Satellite

The WJ-1A satellite, launched in August, now features a cutting-edge AI algorithm created by talented Rwandan students. This innovative algorithm, designed to enable machines to learn, analyze data, and make autonomous decisions, will soon be integrated into the satellite's String Edge AI platform. RSA and STAR.VISION entered into a memorandum of understanding in March, with the aim of pushing the boundaries of space technology.

These pioneering algorithms will empower the WJ-1A satellite to process images in real-time, eliminating the need for data transfers back to Earth. Col. Francis Ngabo, CEO of RSA, expressed his enthusiasm for the project's success, saying,"With the guidance we provided, we challenged students from academic institutions we have partnered with to develop satellite-based algorithms addressing real-world challenges. The result is a Rwandan-developed technology for automated land use assessment and statistics generation using AI algorithms.

Noor Fan, co-founder of STAR.VISION, praised the fruitful collaboration, stating,"We take pride in the achievements of our collaboration with RSA. The AI algorithms, crafted by Rwandan students for automated land use assessment, have undergone successful testing. I am delighted to announce that this innovation will soon be integrated into one of STAR.VISION's satellites."
