Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are part of many upcoming missions and programmes of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), including the Gaganyaan mission, Minister of State Jitendra Singh told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply on Thursday. He said AI played a crucial role in the Mars mission and the soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission spacecraft.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
He said the “major achievements and outcomes of artificial intelligence in terms of enhancing space exploration include…interplanetary missions \u2013 Chandrayaan <\/a>and Mars missions<\/a>, including orbit manoeuvring and soft landing of Chandrayaan-3<\/a>, including identification of the landing site.”<\/p>\n Other achievements included:<\/i><\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Satellite data analysis and processing of India\u2019s remote sensing<\/a>, meteorological, communication, and navigation satellites<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Delivery of Earth observation applications<\/a> \u2013 crop yield prediction, weather forecasting and nowcasting, disaster forecasting, land use and land cover maps, urban expansion planning, detection of encroachment, built-up, settlement, urban waterbodies, forest cover changes, roads, dams, ships, vessels etc.<\/p>\n Singh, the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, said artificial intelligence<\/a> solutions are part of various ongoing projects and programmes of ISRO<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some of such major projects include “the Gaganyaan Program, recently accomplished Chandrayaan-3 mission, Operational Launch vehicle and Spacecraft programmes, Earth Observation data analysis, etc”, Singh said.<\/p>\n “Artificial intelligence and machine learning<\/a> solutions are being developed for launch vehicles, spacecraft operations, big data<\/a> analytics, space robotics, space traffic management, among others,” Singh told the Rajya Sabha.<\/p>\n He said the Department of Space is undertaking projects and programmes in the domains of artificial intelligence, which are at different stages of feasibility studies and implementation. The major ones include:<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Launch vehicle and spacecraft mission trajectory design and autonomous operations;<\/p>\n 2. Launch vehicle and satellite health monitoring and prediction from the telemetry data;<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>Satellite Data Processing for Resource mapping, weather prediction, disaster prediction, geo-intelligence (object and change detection), Precision agriculture, Agroforestry etc.<\/p>\n 4. <\/strong>Humanoid robots and chatbots<\/p>\n 5. <\/strong>Space Robotics and smart manufacturing in space<\/p>\n Singh informed the Rajya Sabha that collaborative efforts between ISRO and Institutions like IITs and IISc are involved in the “development of a few niche AI applications”.<\/p>\n Milestone Alert!<\/strong> Unlock a world of Benefits!
