Recently, for example, Googles artificial intelligence subsidiaryDeepMind developed AlphaFold2, a program that solved theprotein-folding problem.
This is a problem that has had baffled scientists for 50 years.
It would then alert the crew with suggestions for inspection.
Eventually, Cimon will be used to reduce astronauts stress by performing tasks they ask them to do.
New space missions traditionally rely on knowledge gathered by previous studies.
However, this information can often be limited or not fully accessible.
Daphne is used by systems engineers in satellite design teams.
Satellite data processing
Earth observation satellites generate tremendous amounts of data.
For the sheer volume of data received, AI has been very effective in processing it smartly.
Its been used to estimateheat storage in urban areasand to combinemeteorological data with satellite imageryfor wind speed estimation.
AI has also helped withsolar radiation estimationusing geostationary satellite data, among many other applications.
AI for data processing can also be used for the satellites themselves.
In recent research, scientists tested various AI techniques for a remotesatellite health monitoring system.
Another approach is to avoid any possible collisions in space, preventing the creation of any debris.
In a recent study, researchers developed a method todesign collision avoidance maneuversusing machine-learning (ML) techniques.
One way to ensure safety of space flights hasrecently been proposedusing already trained networks onboard the spacecraft.
This allows more flexibility in satellite design while keeping the danger of in-orbit collision at a minimum.
But there is no such a system for other extraterrestrial bodies, for now.
They trained the model on the millions of photographs available from various missions and created a virtual Moon map.
In our endeavors, artificial intelligence will help us both on Earth and in space make this exploration possible.
