AI boosting satellite navigation capability, European Space Agency says

The European Space Agency said Thursday that it is using artificial intelligence for satellite navigation. The program aims to improve “satnav” performance by combining Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with AI.

The ESA said its results could potentially improve the accuracy of space and weather forecasting. Machine learning is analyzing test outcomes and being applied to embedded intelligence steering the vessels.
