NASA probes AI for space connect
Context
NASA scientists are planning to use artificial intelligence (AI) to better manage the increasing communications between its spacecraft and the Earth.
At Present
NASA spacecraft typically rely on human-controlled radio systems to communicate with the Earth. Cognitive radio, the infusion of artificial intelligence into space communications networks, could meet demand and increase efficiency
New thrust
By applying artificial intelligence and machine learning, satellites control these systems seamlessly, making real-time decisions without awaiting instruction
