AI Software Enables Satellite Self-Repair
October 8, 2004 | Source: KurzweilAI
NASA scientists recently successfully radioed AI software to a satellite and tested the software’s ability to find and analyze errors in the spacecraft’s systems.
The AI software, Livingstone Version 2 (LV2), automatically detects and diagnoses simulated failures in the NASA Earth Observing One satellite’s instruments and systems. LV2 monitors the satellite’s software, which autonomously runs the satellite’s imaging systems. If the satellite does not respond properly to its software’s control, LV2 detects the error, makes a diagnosis, and radios its analysis to mission control. LV2 will decide the best way future missions with subsystem failures can continue and still achieve goals.
