AI will become a replacement for the MCC in the event of a loss of stable communication during flights to the Moon and Mars
AI-generated summary
Deep space missions face the problem of latency and loss of communications with Earth.
Deep space missions will require artificial intelligence (AI). TASS learned about this from the deputy head of the Cosmonaut Training Center (CPC) Andrei Babkin.
“Artificial intelligence will most likely be needed when we fly into deep space - for us this is the Moon, Mars. Then a stable connection may be broken,” the specialist said.
According to him, in this case, AI can become a replacement for the MCC, which assists astronauts in making critical decisions when it is necessary to process a large amount of data in a short time.
In July, at a session of the international forum "Innoprom - 2026", the general director of the scientific and technical guild "Frontiers of Science" Ilya Chekh announced that small nuclear reactors have been developed in Russia for the Arctic and deep space.

The cloud of plasma ejected by the Sun will reach Earth on Friday morning, October 10, and will cause moderate G2 magnetic storms lasting up to 12 hours.

RAS President Gennady Krasnikov said that the Russian lunar program is being implemented on schedule. A meeting was held with Roscosmos on the Luna-26 and Luna-27 stations.

On October 7, South Korea successfully launched a Nuri rocket from the Naro Satellite Launch Center, placing ten CubeSats and Neonsats into orbit at an altitude of 570 km. This is the fifth launch of the carrier since 2021. President Lee Jae-myung said the country plans to become one of the world's top five space powers.

South Korea's Nuri rocket successfully reached an altitude of 575 km and launched into orbit five Neonsat ultra-small satellites for monitoring natural disasters and national security, as well as 10 cubesats. The launch took place from the Naro cosmodrome on October 7 at 12:25 local time. The separation of stages and satellites went according to plan. After deploying the satellites, the rocket will perform an evasive maneuver, dump fuel and burn up in the atmosphere.

Doctor of Technical Sciences Alexander Nikitin spoke about the characteristics of the Russian satellite communications “Rassvet”, which will become an analogue of Starlink, its orbit and plans to launch about 900 satellites by 2035.

Russian Academy of Sciences President Gennady Krasnikov said Russia's lunar program is on track, including the launch of the Luna 26, Luna 27A and Luna 27B satellites in the coming years, with the latter two expected to land at the lunar poles.
