NASA’s new AI space chip could let spacecraft think for themselves

ScienceDaily4 min read

NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in deep space. The radiation-hardened processor is showing performance levels hundreds of times beyond current spaceflight computers while surviving punishing tests designed to mimic the harsh conditions of space. The technology could enable AI-powered spacecraft, faster scientific discoveries, and smarter missions to the Moon and Mars.

NASA is developing a powerful new computer chip designed to dramatically increase the intelligence and performance of future spacecraft. Through a commercial partnership, the project is creating advanced processing technology capable of helping spacecraft operate more independently during missions far from Earth. NASA's High Performance Spaceflight Computing project is focused on boosting the computing capabilities of spacecraft used in space exploration. Current missions rely on older processors because they are durable enough to survive the extreme…
