AI the next frontier in space technology and services
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a driving force across all sectors, and space is no exception.
“By enabling everyday applications and improving the way we interact and obtain information and services, AI is redefining how users here on Earth use space technology and services,” says EUSPA Executive Director Rodrigo da Costa.
Recognising AI’s immense potential to enable, even revolutionise, the space downstream market, EUSPA is organising the EUSPA AI Week.
Through funding initiatives like Horizon Europe, Fundamental Elements, or CASSINI, EUSPA has already provided financial and mentoring support to various projects leveraging AI. This includes projects like FUTUREFOR project using AI to better understand, monitor, and protect Europe’s forests or DREAM, which focuses on improving GNSS accuracy and resilience by leveraging Galileo features together with AI techniques to detect spoofing, multipath, and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS)conditions, and ensuring reliable ambiguity. resolution
Over a dozen of these projects will be showcased during EUSPA AI Week.
During the virtual event, scheduled for 19 – 23 January, each project will provide a brief overview of its work and share how it is using AI to address a specific topic relevant to the space downstream sector. Topics include:
- Advancing AI in space downstream applications
- AI for crisis management
- AI enabling practical environmental tools
- AI in mobility
- AI for municipal and industry applications
Each interactive session will include ample time for questions and answers. Registration, agenda, information about the showcased projects can be found on the event page.
“EUSPA AI Week is shaping up to be a unique opportunity for the EU space downstream sector to come together to showcase its developments, exchange experiences and explore synergies between AI-driven space projects,” concludes Fiammetta Diani, Head of the Market Development and Innovation department.
