There's no denying the fact that we live in a period where technology has inevitably become less counterfeit but rather more intelligent. Regardless of whether we talk about AI applications or the uses of its subsets specifically machine learning and deep learning, the scope is huge on what people could have or can envision. Given that, would it be bizarre to realize that AI applications have outperformed our customary lives and are currently taking control over space (Indian moon mission – Chandrayaan-2, for example)? Expanding the levels of automation and autonomy utilizing strategies from artificial intelligence takes into account a more extensive variety of space missions and furthermore frees people to zero in on tasks for which they are more qualified. At times, autonomy and automation are crucial to the success of the mission. For instance, deep space exploration may require more autonomy in the rocket, as communication with ground operators is adequately inconsistent to block persistent human monitoring for conceivably hazardous situations.

India's space agency is preparing to launch its ambitious Chandrayaan-2 mission next week which is set to land near the currently unexplored south pole of the moon. Chandrayaan-2 will blast off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota on the country's south west coast at 2.51am (10.21pm It is the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) second lunar probe, and the first one destined to land on the moon, and is scheduled to land on September 6. India will become only the fourth country, after the US, Russia and China, to reach Earth's satellite if successful. The ISRO has said it chose to explore the south pole as it is possible there is water in the permanently shadowed areas, which could pave the way for future lunar habitation.
