NASA Fits Orbiter Camera With AI to Track Changes on Mars Plus, drones that can plant thousands of trees in a day, mobile Microsoft data centers designed to set up in remote or hazardous locations, and a five-story building in Shanghai that “walked” itself down the street. 6,830 Scientists are applying AI to space exploration to track changes in celestial bodies over time. Researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory fed an algorithm 6,830 images taken by the Context Camera that’s part of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to train it on what to look for, then gave it 112,000 images to analyze, revealing new craters on the Red Planet they think were made between March 2010 and May 2012.
