The payload of Sapling-1 consisted of a [https://coral.ai/products/dev-board-mini Google Coral Dev Board Mini] computer and a [https://coral.ai/products/camera/ Google Coral Camera]. This payload was selected to demonstrate on-orbit image processing and selection using an AI filter. The Coral would use this processing to select a single "best" image out of a series of images taken, reducing the amount of data needed to be transmitted down to Earth. The camera was mounted on the Z- face of the satellite opposite the antennas (towards the table in the photo on the right).
