Mission Control, with the support of the Canadian Space Agency, is developing and launching Mission Persistence in 2025 to introduce and test new approaches to AI in space operations. Mission Control’s technology demonstration will maintain onboard AI models in-orbit through the use of an MLOps pipeline in the ground segment that divides pre-production data and model elements from a production software environment that monitors model performance on newly acquired earth observation data and re-trains and deploys updated models.
