Trends and Applications of AI in Space

For several years, the satellite and commercial space sector has sought ways to automate equipment construction, foster innovation, and boost profitability. Artificial intelligence (AI) can support these efforts. More specifically, the technology can change the way global satellite operators and space agencies process data and transform how the sector operates across four key areas: manufacturing, imaging, telemetry, and spectrum usage. AI has the potential to significantly improve the satellite manufacturing process, particularly when meticulous engineering is required to assemble multiple pieces. Newly developed AI technologies can perform tedious, time-consuming yet necessary tasks, such as cleaning satellite parts.
