Artificial Intelligence, with its advanced capacity to process and interpret vast datasets, is set to play an increasingly pivotal role in the space domain. Its application spans mission planning and execution, in-orbit maintenance, command and control support, and enhancing the resilience of communications systems.
AI-enabled technologies are delivering greater autonomy across a range of capabilities - from spacecraft diagnostics and crew wellbeing to satellite navigation, collision avoidance, and space situational awareness. As strategic competition intensifies, ensuring a secure, stable, and sustainable space environment is becoming ever more critical to maintaining an operational advantage and long-term freedom of action in the space domain.
