It seems the reference to Akida in the submission was gone by the time Tensor announced they had been awarded the contract.

Monday, August 17, 2020 – Tensor Innovation Partners has been awarded a 6-month, SBIR contract by NASA to develop a scalable neural net and neuromorphic module for in-space autonomous orientation and maneuvering. A neuromorphic processor on a chip will be at the heart of our prototype CubeSat design to be built and flown in Phase II of this contract. We will leverage the low power requirements of the chip to build a spacecraft that meets NASA’s requirement for efficient Size, Weigh, and Power (SWaP), while operating in space with minimal human intervention. Ultimately, we will demonstrate the capacity of small-scale standalone neuromorphic systems to perform a variety of mission activities while withstanding the rigors of outer space and develop modular commercial systems for a variety of commercial space applications.
Wednesday, October 28, 2020 – Tensor is excited to announce our acceptance as a participant in the Intel Neuromorphic Research Community and our licensing to use the Loihi Development System for our NASA Deep Neural Net and Neuromorphic Processors for In-Space Autonomy and Cognition Deep Neural Net and Neuromorphic Processors for In-Space Autonomy and Cognition project. Our goal is to design autonomous and artificial cognition capabilities for small-scale satellites and vehicles that will be scalable to any space vehicle. During the interim , we have been experimenting using multiple intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) modules and existing spacecraft hardware from previous projects to develop an optimized and easily expandable control bus and power bus system for CubeSat form factors. With the Loihi device as the core we can now proceed to develop a general-purpose deep neural net and in-space autonomic and neuromorphic processing module with plug and play construction simplicity and with goal setting operation using minimal human intervention.
This was before Intel conceded on Loihi.
Notwithstanding, he wore out his trousers, will Tensor have a second bite with Akida?
Did the NASA Loihi cubesat project sound the death knell for Loihi?
