AI at Risk

As AI becomes embedded across commercial space missions, radiation emerges as a critical design factor that can shape mission success or failure. The challenge is not the presence of radiation itself, but how effectively it is addressed through thoughtful engineering, balanced protection strategies, and mission-specific risk alignment. By treating radiation as a standard part of system design, the industry can unlock advanced AI capabilities in space while protecting performance, longevity, and commercial viability.

Critical Infrastructure – AI at Launch

Critical Infrastructure: AI at Launch – Streamlining the Path to Orbit By Guada CasusoVP of Technology & Innovation Parsons Corporation Spaceports have entered a new era of complexity. They now function as integrated transportation hubs where highways, rail lines, seaports, airports, and digital systems converge to support every stage of a launch.  As commercial space […]

Helium-3

As artificial intelligence expands across satellites, lunar systems, and orbital infrastructure, power becomes the defining constraint. Helium-3, embedded in the Moon’s surface after billions of years of solar exposure, is emerging as a potential energy source aligned with the needs of long-duration, autonomous operations. With the promise of compact, high-density power and reduced system complexity, it offers a new way to think about sustaining intelligent systems beyond Earth.

Power Hungry

Artificial intelligence is making satellites smarter, but in space, intelligence comes at a cost. With limited power and harsh conditions, every decision to run AI must be balanced against the need to keep the spacecraft alive.

Data Shaping Commercial Space

Behind every milestone in commercial space, data tells the real story. Investment flows, revenue signals, and sector performance are revealing how the industry is maturing, from stable core markets like launch and satellites to emerging areas such as in-space servicing, lunar operations, and AI-driven autonomy. As transparency increases and capital becomes more targeted, data is shaping a clearer, more strategic path forward for the commercial space economy.

Smart data 

Onboard AI is transforming how satellites handle data, filtering out noise before transmission and delivering faster, more relevant insights. By prioritizing valuable information in orbit, spacecraft are becoming more efficient, scalable, and responsive to real-time mission needs.

The Thinking Satellite

Artificial intelligence is moving from ground control to orbit, giving satellites the ability to analyze data, detect anomalies, and make decisions in real time. As autonomy expands, spacecraft are becoming active partners in mission operations, reshaping how space systems respond, adapt, and perform.
