NESTA: NASA Engineering Shuttle Telemetry Agent
The Electrical Systems Division at the NASA Kennedy Space Center has developed and deployed an agent-based tool to monitor the space shuttle's ground processing telemetry stream. The agent provides autonomous monitoring of the telemetry stream and automatically alerts system engineers when predefined criteria have been met. Efficiency and safety are improved through increased automation.

There's a graveyard in space littered with the corpses of dozens of dead satellites, a remote spot in the cosmos reserved to entomb spacecraft at the end of their lives. Even the most robust and expensive satellites eventually break down or run out of fuel, and must be retired to a remote parking orbit more than 22,000 miles away, safely out of the way of other satellites. There, the graveyard holds billions of dollars-worth of some of the most expensive hardware ever to leave the surface of the Earth -- including not just commercial communications satellites, but some of the Pentagon's most sensitive assets, used for spying, guiding bombs and warning against missile launches. Now, the Defense Advanced Projects Agency, NASA and others, are developing technologies that would extend the life of the critical infrastructure in space, preventing satellites from being shipped to the graveyard for years. If successful, the agencies would have fleets of robots with arms and cameras that could inspect, refuel and repair satellites keeping them operational well beyond their expected lifetimes.

The Falcon 9 used for the mission launched 10 Iridium satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch got 10 satellites into orbit, SpaceX is contracted to launch 75 of these communication satellites for Iridium and with Monday's launch has successfully put 30 into orbit. After the launch and deployment of the satellites the first stage of the rocket then entered Earth's atmosphere again and landed upright on the drone ship "Just Read The Instructions." The third launch of a bath of 10 Iridium satellites took place at Vandenberg Air Force base in California.

The reality is great highs, terrible lows and unrelenting stress. Musk even gave a recipe for dealing with all that stress, although by his own admission it's probably not the best answer: "take the pain and make sure you really care about what you're doing." During the launch event, Musk spoke about potential manufacturing problems, saying that the next six months will likely be "hell."
DS&T AND OUSD(I) Launch "Xpress" Automated Analysis Challenge
WASHINGTON – The Intelligence Community is sponsoring a $500,000 prize competition to explore artificial intelligence approaches that would transform the process by which analysts currently support policymakers and warfighters through the research and generation of written products. The Office of the Director of Science and Technology within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence--in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence--is launching its first challenge contest, "Xpress," to explore AI-based opportunities for generating analytic products that surpass those crafted by traditional, highly-trained IC analysts. Leveraging private-sector momentum in this area will help ensure that the IC continues to employ cutting-edge methodologies and tools to quickly warn and inform policymakers in an ever more demanding and complex global environment. "Given the pace and breadth of international activity, the IC's analytic community is increasingly challenged to provide policymakers and warfighters with timely information and analysis on a growing number of targets and issues," said Dr. David Isaacson, DS&T program manager for the challenge. "Xpress serves a critical role in exploring the potential for'machine analytics' to enhance existing IC support to our nation's decision makers, ultimately paving the way for analytic production to occur on a timeline and scale that IC analysts and their customers can scarcely imagine today."
