LEO-TM N-REP ISS Demonstration Advanced Sensor (Nanoracks-LEONIDAS) explores design of low-Earth orbit satellites to perform portions of the Department of Energy mission. The investigation collects data on various backgrounds (local time of day, glint, clouds, etc.) to support development of a machine learning algorithm. Imagery courtesy of Sandia National Laboratory.
