US Space Force to Test AI's Ability to predict Satellite Breakdowns
The trained algorithms are incredibly effective in detecting non-obvious relationships in complex systems or signs of approaching events that are invisible at first glance. Therefore, they are increasingly being used to analyze the telemetry of remote equipment in order to respond to possible failures in advance. A logical field of application is cosmonautics, where predicting any incidents will give operators on Earth precious time to plan a response.
