NASA begins using AI to develop spacecraft components for its missions

These NASA spacecraft scaffolds were defined by a human designer and filled in by an artificial intelligence program. | Fountain: NASA | Photographer: Danny Henry

POT it also exacerbates the fever that currently exists for artificial intelligence and disclosed the application of this technology to the development of spacecraft components and equipment for future missions it is preparing. With the help of a system created AI, National Aeronautics and Space Administration You have already managed to create a part for one of your vehicles using this method.

According to what the US space agency has indicated in the publication of its Official websiteparts created by this system AI they weigh less, support higher structural loads, and take less time to develop than human-designed parts.

“They look a little alien and weird, but once you see them in action, it really makes sense.”said Ryan McClellandresearch engineer responsible for the project.

NASA’s AI Initiative

McClelland was a pioneer in the development of unique and specialized parts using commercially available artificial intelligence software in Goddard Space Flight Center belonging POTproducing hardware that has been called “evolving structures”. “You can design, analyze and prototype a part and have it in your hands in as little as a week. It can be radically faster compared to how we used to work.”said the researcher.

To design these complex structures, a computer engineer (CAD) starts with the requirements of the mission and draws the surfaces where the part connects to the tool or to spaceship, as well as bolts and accessories for electronics and other equipment. The designer may also need to pave the way for the algorithm not to block the laser beam or optical sensor. Finally, more complex designs may require space in which technicians’ hands can maneuver for assembly and alignment.

“Algorithms need the human eye. Human intuition knows what looks right, but if left to its own devices, the algorithm can sometimes make the structure too thin.”said McClelland.

Great help on NASA missions

Developed Components McClelland received missions POT at different stages of design and construction, such as balloon astrophysical observatories, earth-atmosphere scanners, planetary instruments, space weather monitors, space telescopes, and even a sample return mission Mars To Earth

Peter Naglerphysical Goddard Space Flight Center belonging POTturned to developed structures to help develop the mission EXoplanet Climate Infrared Telescope (EXCITE), an aerostatic telescope designed to study hot exoplanets like Jupiter in orbit around other stars. EXCITE is under development and it is planned to use a near-infrared spectrograph to continuously observe each planet’s orbit around its parent star.

Durable overpressure balloon POT will increase the payload of the mission excite with engineering test flight in autumn 2023
