A satellite just used AI to make its own decisions in space—and NASA is stoked

For the first time, a satellite has used onboard AI to autonomously decide where and when to capture a scientific image—all in under 90 seconds, with no human input. The technology, called Dynamic Targeting, was tested by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) earlier this month. It was installed aboard a briefcase-sized satellite built and operated by UK-based startup Open Cosmos and carried a machine learning processor developed by Dublin-based firm Ubotica. In the test, the satellite tilted forward to scan 500km ahead of its orbit and snapped a preview image. Ubotica’s AI quickly analysed the scene to check for cloud cover. If the skies were clear, the satellite tilted back to take a detailed photo of the surface. If clouds obscured the view, it skipped the shot—saving time, storage, and bandwidth. “If you can be smart about what...

Highlighted image: depositphotos.com The infamous 100ml liquid restriction was first introduced back in 2006, following revelations of a foiled liquid explosive plot that posed a serious threat to air travel. Traditional X-ray machines at the time lacked the capability to reliably detect these dangerous substances, prompting the European Union to impose strict limits on the quantity of liquids...
