AI for Earth: How NASA's Artificial Intelligence and Open Science Efforts Combat Climate Change - NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration: As extreme weather events increase around the world due to climate change, the need for further research into our warming planet has increased as well. For NASA, climate research involves not only conducting studies of these events, but also empowering outside researchers to do the same. The artificial intelligence (AI) efforts spearheaded by the agency offer a powerful tool to accomplish these goals. https://lnkd.in/eBtUkjui

NASA is exploring the potential of growing habitable structures from mushrooms for space colonies on the Moon and Mars, according to Al Jazeera. The concept, called "mycotecture," has been awarded a $2 million contract for further research at NASA's Ames Research Center. This approach could be much cheaper than sending traditional building materials to space, as fungal spores could be mixed with local lunar materials like water and regolith to create bricks. NASA's research suggests these mushroom-based structures could provide insulation, deflect space radiation, and grow quickly within one to two months. The process involves a package landing on the lunar surface that inflates, allowing fungal spores, water, and algae to grow an exterior shell, creating a habitable structure. However, challenges remain. There are concerns about whether the structures will be strong enough and provide adequate insulation in space. NASA plans to test a mycotecture model during the 2028 Starlab launch. If successful, these mushroom habitats could be the foundation for future space colonies.

Welcome to the hybrid mode of business dealing. Scientific knowledge exchange throughout online modes helps to connect faster and saving digital energy, in turn helping in the evolution of Generative AI of OpenAI. Collaboration with NASA and Microsoft May be we can make a better Space exploration agency as “Elon Musk” visionary is. “Iron Oxy Hydroxide Nanoparticle Synthesis and its application as DNA locking and modulating nanorobots leading to human robotics”.

When it comes to unlocking the secrets of the universe, processing vast amounts of data is essential. At #SC24, Jeniece Wnorowski connected with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Laura Carriere, Climate Simulation High Performance Computing Lead, for a fascinating conversation. Together, they explored how Laura’s team leverages HPC and machine learning to make incredible discoveries—like identifying systems with three sets of binary stars gravitationally bound. 🌌✨ Dive deeper into NASA’s innovative approach to modeling aerosols in the atmosphere, using modular compute infrastructure to keep their HPC systems cutting-edge on a budget, and efficiently managing massive datasets. Don’t miss the full discussion for a closer look at how NASA blends science and technology to push the boundaries of discovery:

How can we engage the next generation of students in STEM activities? https://jhuapl.link/nv0 NASA's Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission outreach program uses a hands-on approach to include students from underserved communities in space missions. The program provided magnetometer kits to students and teachers to collect data on magnetic currents on Earth while the EZIE satellites mapped electrical currents orbiting our planet. 📚 How can we make STEM more inclusive? 📚 How do we provide more opportunities and resources for students in underserved and Indigenous communities? 📚 What impact does including students have on the future of space research?

It was really great to join Harry Morgan, as well as Roaya R. Bubshait, Daniel Carew & Steve O'Brien, for a really engaging panel last week at #SPACEtalks about #ai #machinelearning & #spacedata, expertly chaired by Tales Gaspar. I for one am excited for the future of AI for Space!

This is a great news for All users of high-resolution #Satellite data for #EarthSystem studies & applications, from both Planet & NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration   Communities & and well beyond internationally, because #PublicPrivatePartnerships are recognised globally as a key way forward to accelerate and make sure more & more #EarthObservation enter our every day life powering a #GreenEconomy that protects and cares for #PeopleandPlanet. Are you keen to know more on how public purchases of data can be done in a #WinWinWin scenarios for both companies, public entities, and society? Then please consult these important documents prepared by the latest #CGMS on the « CGMS best practices on relationship with the private sector on commercial data purchases » (endorsed by CGMS-52 plenary, in June 2024) 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePu426Xj The World Meteorological Organization is keen to support data sharing as the quality of #WeatherForecasting & #EnvironmentalMonitoring are both crucially related to the amount of data available for #Modelling & #Verification. The #WMO strong support is via dedicated infrastructure & service coordination so that data can become accessible to largest amount of users and in an interoperable manner under the #WIS2 platform in observance to the #WMO #UnifiedDataPolicy 👉 https://lnkd.in/esZSdfAh Shared with Planet GHGSAT Carbon Mapper MethaneSAT Environmental Defense Fund CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) #CGMS European Space Agency - ESA  EUMETSAT NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency  ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization INPE EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme #EW4All #GBON #G3W

Four things that 7percent Ventures is excited about as spacetech continues to collide with the world of AI/ML... 1) Interoperability - moving from narrow focused applications to broad functionality. Companies like Danti are taking amazing strides in allowing soldiers in the field to perform analysis that has historically been held at pHD level. 2) Fusion with terrestrial data - using many of the techniques pioneered in space, but miniaturised for use on earth - we can create a living, high-resolution map of how we interact with our planet (@ProSpectral 👀 ). 3) Private-public partnerships - there are huge access barriers, both in data and compute, for those building foundational models on geospatial data. We need to see more partnerships like those between IBM and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 4) On-board AI - As we move towards more distributed constellations, they're are a whole host of problems that need solving in smart spectrum management, on-satellite data processing, and selective retrieval. It was great to be a part of SPACEtalks #ai panel last week at European Space Agency - ESA - thank you to Laura Ortega and team for hosting. Roaya R.
