In search of anomalies: Bavarian satellite with AI on board launched into space. The nanosatellite, called Sonata-2, is now intended, among other things, to examine geological formations on Earth or regions such as the Sahara Desert.

Its task: to detect phenomena in space and report them automatically. Scientists hope that it will remain functional for at least a year at an altitude of around 500 kilometers above Earth. It should then burn up in the atmosphere and not end up as space debris.
