NASA's Goddard Space Autonomy and Resilience (SPAR) Lab has developed an AI tool called Onboard Artificial Intelligence Research platform (OnAIR) to enhance spacecraft capabilities. This tool was tested during the NAMASTE mission, which utilized autonomous drones to measure methane emissions in Alaskan permafrost. The integration of AI is expected to facilitate more complex missions by allowing spacecraft to operate independently without constant ground control input.
The introduction of AI into space missions is challenging due to the inherent risk aversion of mission planners. OnAIR serves as an open-source software pipeline that standardizes data processing, making it easier to implement AI in future missions. The SPAR Lab's efforts demonstrate a significant step towards achieving autonomous capabilities in space exploration, paving the way for more sophisticated mission architectures.
• OnAIR enhances spacecraft autonomy and data collection capabilities.
• AI integration is crucial for complex space mission architectures.
