Smart Orbits
As space missions venture farther and generate unprecedented volumes of data, the ability to process information and make decisions in real-time, directly on the spacecraft, is no longer a luxury but a necessity. In October 2025, our project hosted the Smart Orbits workshop at KULeuven, Belgium. It gathered researchers and engineers at the forefront of space plasma physics, artificial intelligence, and onboard computing to discuss how to increase the scientific output of space missions using AI.
The presentations from the Smart Orbits Workshop are now available on the project’s YouTube channel.
AI for Space Application
In February 2025, our project successfully hosted the AI for Space Applications Workshop, a cross-disciplinary event exploring how artificial intelligence and machine learning can enhance the autonomy and value of space missions while reducing costs. The workshop brought together experts from AI/ML, space plasma physics, space weather, Earth observation, and spacecraft design and control to discuss opportunities, challenges, and pathways forward. The lively discussions and collaborations made the workshop a clear success, highlighting the strong potential of AI to transform future space exploration.
