Consortium partner for ESA/EU space autonomy and planetary defense programs

Machine Intelligence Zrt. actively seeks project cooperation opportunities within European and international space programs, offering proven artificial intelligence capabilities ready for immediate consortium participation. Our experience with the European Space Agency, technical depth across multiple space AI applications, and consortium-ready organizational structure position us as an effective partner for ambitious space technology development programs.

Our Project Cooperation Focus

We target projects advancing spacecraft autonomy, planetary defense capabilities, space manufacturing automation, and related AI applications where our demonstrated expertise delivers clear value. Our interest spans ESA General Support Technology Programme activities, Horizon Europe space cluster initiatives, and international programs through organizations including the European Union, NATO, and the United Nations, where appropriate. We bring technical capabilities, operational experience, and commitment to collaborative success that make consortium participation productive for all partners.

Proven Capabilities Ready for Deployment

Our active work with ESA's Planetary Defense Office demonstrates our ability to deliver within the space program's requirements and timelines. The NEODetect system operates as an operational service analyzing astronomical imagery for potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, providing concrete evidence of our capacity to move from concept through development to deployed capability. This experience directly translates into new programs requiring reliable partners who understand space mission constraints.

The DLVS3 platform represents another flight-proven capability ready for project integration. Generating physics-based synthetic training data for spacecraft operations addresses a fundamental challenge in autonomous system development. Projects requiring visual navigation, proximity operations, or autonomous docking benefit immediately from our established simulation infrastructure and neural network development expertise. We don't need project funding to build basic capabilities—we bring mature technology ready for application-specific refinement.

Our MInD platform's deployment across industrial applications demonstrates scalability and operational maturity. Space manufacturing projects benefit from this proven foundation rather than starting AI development from scratch. Quality control systems, automated inspection, and manufacturing optimization all leverage existing capabilities that we can rapidly adapt to specific program requirements.

Contributing Across Project Phases

We participate effectively throughout project lifecycles —from proposal development to final delivery. During proposal phases, we contribute technical content, effort estimates, and work package definitions grounded in a realistic assessment of requirements and timelines. Our ESA experience provides an understanding of proposal structures, evaluation criteria, and common pitfalls that strengthen consortium submissions.

During execution, we deliver against commitments with the transparency and communication essential for successful consortia. Our technical approach emphasizes regular stakeholder engagement, milestone-driven development, and comprehensive documentation that meets space program standards. We adapt to consortium structures, whether serving as work package leaders, contributing partners, or specialized subcontractors, recognizing that different projects require different organizational roles.

Technical Contributions We Offer

For spacecraft autonomy programs, we contribute complete development chains from training data generation through flight-ready neural networks. Our capabilities span guidance, navigation, and control applications, including visual-based relative navigation, autonomous rendezvous and docking, formation flying, and planetary landing. Projects can leverage our DLVS3 simulation infrastructure, neural network design expertise, and edge computing optimization capabilities as needed for specific mission requirements.
