Technology is disclosed herein for operating a tasking service for UAVs. In an implementation, a tasking service receives task parameters which includes a desired state of the UAVs for performing a task and service information associated with performing the task. The tasking service continuously receives state information from the UAVs which identifies a present state of the UAVs and continuously evaluates the present state of the UAVs with respect to the desired state. When the present state of an UAV matches the desired state, the tasking service assigns the task to the UAV and provides the service information to the UAV. In an implementation, the tasking service receives task parameters via an application programming interface from a client application in communication with the tasking service.

Task management for unmanned aerial vehicles

Techniques are described for developing and using applications and skills with autonomous vehicles. In some embodiments, a development platform is provided that enables access to a developer console for developing software modules for use with autonomous vehicles. For example, a developer can specify instructions for causing an autonomous vehicle to perform one or more operations. To control the behavior of an autonomous vehicle, the instructions can cause an executing computer system at the autonomous vehicle to generate calls to an application programming interface (API) associated with an autonomous navigation system of autonomous vehicle. Such calls to the API can be configured to adjust parameters of a behavioral objective associated with a trajectory generation process performed by the autonomous navigation system that controls the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. The instructions specified by the developer can be packaged as a software module that can be deployed for use at autonomous vehicle.

Applications and skills for an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle

Technology is disclosed herein to enable data transfer from unmanned aerial vehicles to cloud destinations. In an implementation, a relay resource in communication with a UAV sends a transfer request to a cloud service for managing data transfer for unmanned aerial vehicles. The request includes a unique identifier for the data file. The cloud service determines instructions for transferring the data file to a destination based on the file's unique identifier. The cloud service sends the transfer instructions to the relay resource via an API, the instructions including information for uploading the file to the destination.

The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for tasking satellite constellations. A method is disclosed herein for receiving, from a resource database of a satellite control system, knowledge data corresponding to a plurality of components associated with a satellite constellation communications system. The plurality of components can include one or more satellites associated with a constellation. The method includes processing the knowledge data according at least one received mission objective. Processing the knowledge data can include determining a status of at least one satellite in the constellation. The method includes scheduling the satellite control system based at least in part on the received mission objective and the processed knowledge data; initiating communication with the at least one satellite in the constellation according to the scheduling; receiving updated status information for at least one component of the plurality of components; and storing, in the resource database, the updated status information.

Systems and methods for command and control of satellite constellations

The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for managing one or more ground stations that track satellites. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores information of a ground station at a first position at a first time. A processor receives from a sensor information of the ground station at a second position at a second time. The processor detects an anomaly of a positional characteristic of the ground station based on a difference between the first position and the second position. The processor outputs an instruction to calibrate the ground station based on the detected anomaly.
