NASA Prepares Deep Space Mission—Why AI Will Play Important Role
The post NASA Prepares Deep Space Mission—Why AI Will Play Important Role appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As the new space race ramps up and humanity looks to deep space and potentially life as an interstellar species, the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is preparing to launch a new high-powered lens into the void of deep space called the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. NASA hopes to use the new telescope to further investigate the phenomenon of dark matter and dark energy that are crucial to understanding the universe’s evolution. The Roman mission is named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, the first female executive at NASA who also served as the organization’s first Chief of Astronomy. Dr. Nancy Grace Roman.

The Roman mission is expected to amass 20 petabytes (or 20,000 terabytes) of data containing trillions of individual measurements of stars and galaxies over its five-year mission.

Companies working on the mission include Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation, L3Harris Technologies, and Teledyne Scientific & Imaging. Last week, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory hitched a SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket ride to deploy a new Deep Space Optical Communications project aboard the NASA Psyche Mission. The…
