SPARTAN: Space Particle Tracking with Neural Networks

SPARTAN (SPace pARTicle trAcking with Neural-networks) is a PNRR-funded project that developed an innovative machine-learning-based system for tracking charged particles in space applications. By combining Graph Neural Networks, 2D Convolutional Neural Networks, and FPGA-based real-time inference, the project demonstrated the feasibility of intelligent on-board processing for future space missions under strict power and reliability constraints.
