NASA-Funded Research Will Let Unmanned Spacecraft “Think” Using AI and Blockchain

“As mankind expands outwards into the universe, unmanned spacecraft will face a growing problem: as Earth becomes more distant, the transmission time for information and instructions to reach these craft becomes longer and longer. This time lag could make it difficult or even impossible for satellites to respond to fast-moving threats, like space debris, or quickly take opportunities to collect data from unexpected sources, like a passing meteorite.

A new grant from NASA to the University of Akron in Ohio will fund research to overcome this issue by helping such spacecraft “think” for themselves using deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) that works over an Ethereum blockchain network…”
