The United Institute of Informatics Problems offers consumers a Micromodule for the operational recognition, selection, and compression of video information on board small spacecraft under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

Main characteristics and purpose:
Functionality: The module enables rapid recognition of target objects in Earth surface images, selection of informative frames, and their compression before transmission to Earth.

Goal: Significantly reduces the amount of data that must be transmitted over a radio channel, which is critical for satellites with limited communication bandwidth.

Key feature: Includes specialized software for onboard video analysis, allowing for the filtering of uninformative images (e.g., dense clouds).

Status: In 2022–2023, the development was demonstrated as a key element in the miniaturization of onboard equipment for new Belarusian microsatellites.
The micromodule is part of the institute's broader work in the field of Earth remote sensing and intelligent computer vision systems.

The micromodule for rapid recognition, selection, and compression of video information onboard small spacecraft is an exhibit at the "My Belarus" exhibition, part of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus stand.

Key advantages:
Comprehensive miniaturization: the micromodule significantly reduces the weight and size of onboard equipment, which is critical for small satellites.

On-board processing: Instead of transmitting the entire video data volume to Earth, the module quickly recognizes and selects only target object classes and significant frames directly onboard.

Bandwidth savings: Pre-selection and efficient compression of video data significantly reduces the load on satellite-to-Earth communication channels.

Enhanced security: The use of flexible and dynamically adjustable encryption and compression technologies onboard enhances the security of transmitted data.

Functional autonomy: the micromodule expands the capabilities of the satellite's autonomous operation, allowing it to independently respond to detected objects or changes in the observation zone.

The developed prototype outperforms existing analogs in a number of parameters: weight, dimensions, power consumption, frame processing speed, cost, etc.

United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is the leading organization in the Republic of Belarus for fundamental and applied research in the field of information technologies: design automation, applied mathematics, supercomputer technologies, bioinformatics and medical informatics, geographic information systems, digital cartography, information space technologies, Grid- technologies. The Institute is a provider of the scientific and educational Internet in Belarus, participates in the development of recommendations on the use of the results of scientific research, scientific support for informatization processes in the Republic of Belarus, the development of forecasts in the relevant fields of science and technology, and the training of highly qualified personnel.

Scientific directions:
- automation of engineering systems design;
- processing and recognition of signals, images, speech;
- geoinformation systems;
- input and output of video information;
- operations research and discrete optimization;
- data protection;
- decision-making in emergency situations;
- bio- and medical informatics;
- computer networks, databases and telematic applications;
- supercomputer technologies and parallel computing, Grid technologies;
- information and reference systems.

The strategic goal of the UIIP NAS of Belarus is the creation and implementation of systems developed on the basis of modern scientific theories and methods of information technology. At the same time, the main directions are the development and creation of high-performance systems and advanced technical base of network technologies based on the principles of GRID and cloud computing. Integration of high-performance computing resources of the institute into the European and world network will create conditions for the export of services to other countries. Another important export factor should be the computing complexes and systems created in the laboratories of the institute and designed as a finished hardware and/or software product. The areas of application of these products are automation of the full life cycle of products in industry and electronics, medical informatics, space information systems, information systems in management and government, public information services, and others.

Along with the expansion of scientific and technical cooperation with partners from the CIS countries, Western and Eastern Europe, much attention was paid to expanding the geography of scientific and technical cooperation and entering new markets for scientific and technical products (China, the countries of the Persian Gulf and a number of other countries).

The strategic goal of the implementation of international projects is to increase the competitiveness of domestic scientific and technical products, their promotion to the world market, the maximum attraction of foreign investment in the research sector of the Republic of Belarus.
