NASA Applies IntelAI's Machine Learning Methods to Search for Space Resources – technerdbites

The State Government of South Australia announced their contract with Solar Reserve to build a 150MW solar thermal power plant for Port Augusta, South Australia. This is an addition to the state-owned gas plant and the world's largest lithium ion battery recently announced contract with Tesla. According to State Premier Jay Weatherhill, this solar thermal plant "biggest of its kind in the world" and "will help make our energy grid more secure." This Aurora Solar Energy Project will be ready in 2020 and is expected to supply 100% of the government's anticipated power needs. IntelAI has been collaborating with NASA FDL's Lunar Water and Volatiles team in a 9-week program this year. Working with Intel's team and their deep learning technologies, Intel Nervana, NASA is looking to accelerate the development of a software solution to take AI to the moon.
