AI assistants for astronauts on long-duration space missions unveiled
At the International Astronautical Congress in Milan, researchers presented an innovative system. It is designed to support astronauts on long-duration space missions.
The project, in which scientists from the German Aerospace Center participate, is aimed at increasing the autonomy of astronauts and reducing their dependence on communication with Earth, the delay in which can be up to 24 minutes.
The system has been named METIS. It has been enhanced using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies including GPT models, augmented reality (AR) and knowledge bases (KG). This will allow astronauts to receive information in natural language and use it to make decisions in real time without waiting for commands from Earth.
One of the key features of the new approach is the integration of documents and live data, such as sensor readings, into a single knowledge base. This data will be displayed through augmented reality, reducing the workload of astronauts and helping them respond more quickly to changes in mission conditions.
Such AI systems are expected to become critical for decision-making on long-term space missions, including those to Mars

India and Europe jointly launched satellites to create an artificial solar eclipse
One of the vehicles will obscure the Sun, while the other will make previously inaccessible observations, allowing scientists to better study the solar corona and beyond.
They will spend five years in orbit, after which they will burn up in the atmosphere. The cost of the mission is €200 million

Japanese will brew sake on the ISS
Japanese company Asahi Sake Brewery decided to try brewing sake in space.
The first experiments will take place on the Japanese module “Kibo”, which is part of the International Space Station (ISS). 520 g of moromi (sake starter mixed with rice-based mash and rice malt) will be fermented in space and brought back to Earth in a frozen state. The raw material will then be pressed and bottled in 100
