Tanagra Space Enables Voice Command Functionality on ESA's OPS-SAT Satellite
Tanagra Space has successfully implemented new software on the European Space Agency’s (ESA) OPS-SAT PRETTY satellite, allowing it to respond to spoken voice commands. This technical milestone enabled the satellite to launch the classic video game DOOM following a specific radio transmission. While playing DOOM on satellites is not an unprecedented feat, the ability to execute these actions via voice command represents a significant advancement in remote satellite control and software-defined capabilities. The achievement highlights the growing potential for flexible, software-driven updates to existing space hardware.
