Rithwick H Kashyap Sri Madhusudhan H S 4NN15CS038 Asst. Professor, Dept of CSE •During the development of the Curiosity rover, the European Space Agency (ESA) delivered a roadmap, in the framework of the Aurora program. •Their vision included the establishment of a human base on the Mars, among several other advanced preparatory steps. Introduction • At the same time, even more ambitious plans and missions are being conceived in order to explore and colonize even farther planets. • In order to achieve this, consolidation of artificial intelligence methods in space engineering is certainly an enabling factor. • Mars is 54.6M kilometers away from earth. And the round-trip communication delay time varies between 6.5 minutes to 44 minutes. Mars Synodic period comes in every 2.1 years. • Factors to be taken care of during the Synodic period: o Health of the space craft o Data dumping Why AI?... • For such mission to happen, these rovers must be capable of making autonomous decisions and communicate harmoniously with each other. • To achieve the desired results, NASA along with ESA has come up with a solution consisting of Distributed Artificial Intelligence for Swarm autonomy. •DAI is an approach to solving complex learning, planning, and decision-making problems. • We can perform large scale computation and spatial distribution of computing resources. These properties allow it to solve problems that require the processing of very large data sets. Distributed AI •DAI systems are built to be adaptive to changes in the problem definition or underlying data sets. •DAI systems do not require all the relevant data to be aggregated in a single location. • The main topic of DAI for space applications is Swarm Intelligence Swarm Intelligence • Swarm Intelligence can be defined as a system made by multiple identical and noncognitive agents characterized by limited sensing capabilities. • This facilitates the interaction of the system with the environment and other local systems. •Swarm Intelligence is used to achieve synchronized movement of satellites. • Particle Swarm Optimization is the technology incorporated to achieve autonomous movement of satellites in order to get improved coverage. Particle Swarm Optimization Figure shows orbital satellites assembling a given structure Incoming Data From Mars
• Starting from 20th century numerous satellites have
been launched to orbit the red planet by various space agencies.
• The data produced by these spacecrafts consists of
experiment data and housekeeping data.
•The minimum amount of data produced by each
satellite is 2Gb/day, and the maximum downlink speed that can be achieved is 182kbps. Data Dumping Problem • The onboard system has limited memory to store data of Science experiments. • The HRSC can produce footages up to 1GB per coverage. • Housekeeping data might exceed beyond expectation. •This results in suspension of numerous scientific experiments. • The ESA came-up with MEXAR2, an AI program that handles the data dumping process without human intervention. Solving via a Flow Network
• The core problem of data dumping can be solved by
reducing the timeline representation to an equivalent flow network.
•This algorithm computes a maximal-flow solution through
the network that synthesizes a dump plan for the MEXAR2 for further process. •ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is a mars orbiter that was launched into the Martian orbit by ESA in collaboration with Roscosmos. • Mexar2 was incorporated into the satellite's system to overcome the data dumping problem. • Mexar2 is an operational tool that the EMTGO mission planning Mexar2 team uses in its daily planning process to produce a data downlink plan and schedule. •The tool is tightly integrated in the mission planning systems. • Since its introduction, Mexar2 has reduced the mission planning team’s workload for generating a feasible downlink plan by half compared to the previous method. Mexar2 Architecture and Objective • Preserving the existing data life cycle.
• Taking other mission
features into account during problem solving
• Preserving mission planner
control and responsibility during problem solving. • Artificial intelligence is one of the enabling technologies for the achievement of the various short- and long-term goals of the international space agencies. •The synergic effort of scientists from both fields is required to effectively tackle the numerous open issues and challenges in this Conclusion area. •These applications go beyond the more classical automated planning and scheduling field and include different mission phases from conceiving the preliminary design to the mission operation phase.
