Earth-observation satellites today downlink almost everything they capture and let the ground sort it out. Clouds, ocean, empty desert — it all consumes bandwidth. BELTO inverts that. Our SDK is four lines of code a satellite builder drops into their flight software. Once it's in, the satellite classifies every frame onboard, runs it through a rule engine, and decides what's worth sending home. To prove it works, we built a browser-deployed demo: an 18-satellite fleet dashboard with a real ResNet-18 scene classifier trained on Sentinel-2 imagery. The model downloads into your browser and runs on your laptop — not on a server. Feed it a MODIS tile of a wildfire and the rule engine fires PRIORITY_FIRE at CRITICAL severity in real time. Eight of the eighteen satellites fly on live orbits pulled from Celestrak, so you see the actual ISS, Hubble, and Landsat-9 where they are right now.
