In this episode of KP Labs – ON AIR, Helena Milevych is joined by Dawid Lazaj, System Engineer at KP Labs, to talk about LeopardISS — our on-board data processing experiment currently installed on the International Space Station as part of the IGNIS mission.
They explore what the Leopard Data Processing Unit is, how it supports in-orbit validation of AI algorithms, and why this kind of autonomy is crucial for future space missions. Dawid also shares insights into our collaboration with Poznań University of Technology, which developed a 3D mapping algorithm for planetary rovers — the first to be tested on LeopardISS.
The conversation dives into the challenges of preparing space hardware for a human-rated environment, including surprising safety constraints like cotton gloves, noise levels, and mechanical safety. You'll also hear how Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski will oversee the experiment aboard the ISS, as part of the broader IGNIS mission framework.

In the first episode, our Head of Products, Helena Milevych, talks with Michał Zachara, COO at KP Labs, about how it all began — both for him and for the company. It’s a story of curiosity, bold ideas, and the belief that satellites could do more than just send data back to Earth, but also process data in orbit and operate more autonomously.
They talk about what’s been bringing KP Labs closer to its vision - the missions, projects, and technologies that shaped its path - and why onboard data processing plays such a crucial role in the future of the space tech industry. Not just as a technical advancement, but as a necessary step toward building smarter, faster, and more autonomous spacecraft.
This isn’t a tech showcase. It’s a conversation about beginnings, learning by doing, and the mindset that started it all.
