NASA is taking generative AI to space. The organization just unveiled a series of spacecraft and mission hardware designed with the same kind of artificial intelligence that creates images, text, and music out of human prompts. Called Evolved Structures, these specialized parts are being implemente...
Spacecraft and their components have to be lightweight to ensure cost-effective launches, fuel and power efficiency, and structural integrity, not to mention maximum instrumentation for mission capabilities. But reducing mass is no simple task. To make it easier and faster to design lightweight spa...
And the team just sailed through a key stage in that process, the critical design review. That's when NASA examines the designs for all of the project systems, including the three science instruments and all of the spacecraft engineering subsystems, from telecommunications, propulsion, and power...
NEW YORK — NASA has challenged the public to design part of a spacecraft that could land future spaceflyers on the surface of Mars. The so-called NASA Mars Balance Mass Challenge officially opened Saturday, and will draw to a close on Nov. 21. The agency will announce the winning design...
But NASA won’t just be carrying people in its two shiny new spacecraft. The agency announced today that it also intends to use the vehicles to carry cargo such as equipment and infrastructure to the moon. Recommended Videos “NASA is planning for both crewed missions and future services miss...
