New Delhi, April 15 -- As space missions become more ambitious, artificial intelligence is emerging as one of the most critical technologies shaping the future of exploration. Industry observers such as Brijesh Goel have increasingly drawn attention to how AI is helping space agencies and private players overcome the challenges of distance, time delay, equipment reliability, and large-scale data processing.

From autonomous spacecraft systems to predictive maintenance and satellite optimisation, AI is now deeply integrated into modern space engineering.

Enabling autonomy in deep-space missions

One of the most significant applications of AI in space exploration is spacecraft autonomy. Missions operating millions of kilometres away from E...
