Innovative Technologies Development for Future NASA Earth Science Missions
Abstract
Envision remotely sensed Earth science measurements being gathered by a constellation of up to 100 or 1000 satellites, this constellations interfacing with an in-situ sensor web and an airborne mission, and on-board processing and edge computing taking place to help manage these systems and the data they are gathering. Now envision multiples of these systems of systems interacting with one another. These systems will need to make intelligent decisions related to sensing, collision avoidance, systems interfaces, and data management and transfer. These concepts for future NASA Earth science missions will require a rich profusion of artificial intelligence, autonomy, and machine learning capabilities to name a few. To achieve these capabilities NASA is pursing collaborative environments and public - private partnerships to help develop the architectures, software, and systems.
NASA's Earth Science Technology Office, Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) program is working on development of these technologies and partnerships. Through the New Observing Systems (NOS) and Analytics Center Framework (ACF) initiatives AIST is beginning prototyping, validating the technology individually and then as a system, demonstrating novel distributed systems and retiring the risk of integrating these technologies. Further details about these initiatives will be presented at the conference.- Publication:
