Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation

Integrate cutting-edge technology into spacecraft design with this groundbreaking work

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionized virtually every area of computing and complex engineering, and the design of satellite spacecraft is no exception. Intelligent satellites are increasingly capable of human-like perception, decision-making, and operations, and their problem-solving capacities are still expanding. As AI and machine learning continue to advance, their integration into satellite manufacture will only deepen.

Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation seeks to understand the foundations of this integration and its likely directions in the coming years. Beginning from the basic principles of interaction between artificial intelligence and satellite design and mission planning, the book analyzes a series of current or potential areas of technological advancement to create a comprehensive overview of the subject.

Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation readers will also find:

• Background information on the introduction and development of artificial intelligence
• Detailed discussion of topics including autonomous satellite operation, remote sensing satellites, and many more
• Over 100 illustrations and tables to reinforce key concepts

Intelligent Satellite Design and Implementation is ideal for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in engineering, computing, and spacecraft design programs, as well as researchers in these and related fields.
