UK-based space techstartupOpen Cosmos has successfully launched a new AI-powered satellite that can provide near real-time views of Earth.
Key to HAMMERs abilities is, you guessed it,artificial intelligence.
In what is billed as a world-first, this information can be accessed via a mobile app.

HAMMER is equipped with a super high-resolution hyperspectral camera.
The camera captures images across hundreds of narrow spectral bands, revealing the chemical makeup of objects.
The company is also developing an satellite data analytics platform called DataCosmos.
