AI Challenges and Benefits in Space Applications

Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in space applications poses challenges due to power consumption of advanced processors, radiation damage, and the need for software modifications. However, the potential benefits are significant. AI algorithms can identify ships and transmit relevant data, improve spacecraft performance by detecting and resolving issues, enhance autonomy for long-duration or limited human interaction missions, optimize data processing and transmission for remote-sensing satellites, and more. Efforts are being made to develop space-qualified components, shielding techniques, and AI-optimized chips to …
