Value proposition

AI research accelerator developing tools to help solve some of the biggest challenges facing space science & humanity.

The Frontier Development Lab (FDL) applies artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to space science, pushing the frontiers of research and developing new tools to help solve some of the biggest challenges that humanity faces. These range from the affects of climate change to predicting space weather, from improving disaster response, to identifying meteorites that could hold the key to the history of our universe.

FDL is a public-private partnership with ESA in Europe and NASA in the USA. We work with commercial partners such as NVIDIA, Intel, and Google Cloud who provide expertise and the computing resources necessary for rapid experimentation and iteration in data intensive areas, as well as partners such as the Satellite Applications Catapult, SETI, and the University of Oxford.
