A satellite is provided, including an onboard computing device. The onboard computing device may include a processor configured to receive training data while the satellite is in orbit. The processor may be further configured to perform training at a machine learning model based at least in part on the training data. The processor may be further configured to generate model update data that specifies a modification made to the machine learning model during the training. The processor may be further configured to transmit the model update data from the satellite to an additional computing device.
