Working with NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and U.K. startup Open Cosmos, Ubotica showed that a satellite could look ahead along its orbital path and analyze the results before gathering imagery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUbotica has spent years pioneering Orbital AI, and we have applied that knowledge to one of the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/ubotica-raises-11-million-to-scale-maritime-intelligence-platform\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubotica raises $11 million to scale maritime-intelligence platform https:\/\/spacenews.com\/ubotica-raises-11-million-to-scale-maritime-intelligence-platform\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-23 13:48:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":279757,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rsz_aubrey_dunne_cto_fintan_buckley_ceo_and_john_bourke_co-founder__cfo_with_a_satellite_model_of_cognisant-6_of_ubotica_picture__fergal_phillips.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-279755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279755"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":279759,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279755\/revisions\/279759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
