AI-Driven Space Exploration: Innovations by NASA and ISRO
Arya College of Engineering & I.T. says Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing space exploration by enabling autonomous decision-making, optimizing mission efficiency, and uncovering celestial mysteries. Both NASA and ISRO are leveraging AI to push the boundaries of exploration. Below is an overview of current applications and future prospects. Applications of AI in Space Exploration Autonomous Navigation NASA’s Mars rovers, such as Curiosity and Perseverance, use AI for autonomous navigation. These rovers analyze terrain, avoid obstacles, and plan efficient routes without human intervention. Perseverance employs the AEGIS software to prioritize scientific targets autonomously. ISRO is exploring similar technologies for autonomous spacecraft navigation to reduce reliance on ground control during deep-space missions. Exoplanet Discovery AI algorithms like AstroNet K2 have been used by NASA to analyze Kepler Telescope data, leading to the discovery of exopla...
