Humans are intelligent They can think and make decisions They can naturally recognize sounds objects around them etc and do things such as Make plans Play games See things and people Hear and understand sounds Read books Have conversations 2

Machines on the other hand can be made smart by adding some intelligence to them to do specific tasks In this book we learn how machines that are made intelligent by using the technology of Artificial Intelligence AI can help us in space 3

Let s look at how AI can help us go into space AI based assistants can detect any dangers in spacecraft It can alert humans with suggestions to fix the problem RAISR from NASA is an example of AI that detects failures in spacecraft It helps diagnose problems within the spacecraft even if they have not been seen before 8

Satellite data processing AI can be used to understand the information satellites send back to earth This can help the spacecraft navigate space Planning a mission into space is not an easy task but Artificial Intelligence can help engineers look at data from past missions and plan ahead 9

How AI can help us land in space TRN Terrain Relative Navigation from NASA is an AI that guided the Mars Perseverance rover to land perfectly on Mars It took pictures of the Mars surface and the AI used the pictures to figure out where the rover was and helped land the rover safely on Mars 12

Cameras and sensors on the spacecraft feed information to AIs The AI uses this information to instruct astronauts when it s safe to leave the spacecraft The AI also stores this information which will be useful for future missions 13

Let s look at how AI helps Astronauts AI powered robots can carry out risky jobs that aren t safe for human astronauts CIMON an Artificial Intelligence assistant is developed to talk with astronauts The AI works as a friend in space Astrobee is a flying AI machine that helps astronauts with daily tasks and identifies problems in the space station 16

NASA is creating a next generation spacesuit which is being built for the Artemis mission in 2024 AI helps the portable life support system that keeps the suit powered and oxygenated maintains the right temperature and supports communication with the outside world AI will enable astronauts to monitor their health modify their nutrition and adjust their fitness training to minimize muscle loss in space 17

AI and The Mars Rover Terrain Relative Navigation is an AI used for navigating the surface of Mars It identifies the obstacles quickly and helps the rover avoid bumping into rocks 20

The rover reacts and performs without any human support with the help of AI This is great as we can collect information about Mars without actually being there A rover can drive around to different areas on Mars studying the different chemicals in each rock This can help researchers learn more about Mars and space 21

AI for the future of space travel The Tesla Roadster has been traveling farther and farther away The Roadster won t reach a near Earth orbit until 2091 So far the Roadster has completed 1 3 orbits around the Sun and it ll keep going 24

SpaceX is already under way building its first floating spaceport platform It will provide launch and landing capabilities NASA also plans to land the first woman on the moon by 2024 25
