Teams selected to teach AI Agents to interact with people and learn
As part of DARPA's Environment-driven Conceptual Learning (ECOLE) program, several university teams and industry performers will attempt to create artificial intelligence (AI) agents capable of continually learning from linguistic and visual input. Resulting agents would be able to collaborate with humans to help them produce analyses of image, video, and multimedia documents during time-sensiti Varda waiting on FAA license to return space manufacturing capsule
A startup that launched its first mission to test space manufacturing technologies last month is waiting on a Federal Aviation Administration license to be able to bring what it produced back to Earth.
Orbiting astronaut oversees robot team on Earth
Astronaut Frank Rubio aboard the International Space Station collaborated with a small team of robots on Earth to accomplish a complex task – a first test of a new approach to combine human and robotic capabilities for our return to the Moon and beyond.
Space Force to further define details of a ‘commercial space reserve’
The Space Force is moving forward with plans to establish a commercial space reserve to ensure the U.S.
If you’re going to the south pole, go to the south pole
NASA has been planning for years to go to the south pole of the moon, and that is where it should go.
Space Force selects vendors for low Earth orbit satellite services
The U.S. Space Force announced July 24 it selected 16 companies that will compete for low Earth orbit satellite services contracts.
NASA selects companies to advance lunar power and other technologies
Companies working on nuclear and solar power systems for the moon are among the winners of NASA awards to advance their technologies for future use by NASA and commercial customers.
NASA power outage temporarily halts contact with space station
A NASA power outage disrupted communication between Mission Control and the International Space Station on Tuesday.
Mission Control couldn't send commands to the station and talk with the seven astronauts in orbit. The power outage hit as upgrade work was underway in the building at Houston's Johnson Space Center.
Space station program manager Joel Montalbano said neither the astronauts nor station were ever in any danger and that backup control systems took over within 90 minutes.
An 800-year-old mathematical trick could help with lunar navigation
Kamilla Cziráki, a geophysics student at the Faculty of Science of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), has taken a new approach to researching the navigation systems that can be used on the surface of the moon to plan future journeys.
Working with Professor Gábor Timár, head of the Department of Geophysics and Space Sciences, Cziráki calculated the parameters used in the Earth's GPS system for the moon using the method of mathematician Fibonacci, who lived 800 years ago. Their findings have been published in the journal Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica.
Now, as humanity prepares to return to the moon after half a century, the focus is on possible methods of lunar navigation.
House rejects satellite spectrum licensing bill because of space safety provisions
A bill intended to reform satellite spectrum licensing regulations failed to pass the House July 25 after some members objected to provisions they claimed gave the FCC authority to regulate space safety.
