<p>The Würzburg University satellite SONATE-2 was launched into orbit a year ago and has achieved all its mission objectives. The satellite, developed by Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, successfully demonstrated the training of AI autonomously on board for anomaly detection on Earth's surface. The satellite's neural networks were trained to recognize objects not typically found in the Sahara, such as the Nile and adjacent green regions. In addition to the AI payload, the satellite also tested other technologies like the MultiView star sensor and amateur radio services. The satellite remains fully functional and is used for educational purposes.</p>
