Satellite overcrowding around the Earth: how AI can prevent collisions and interference with an intelligent “space autopilot”
Politecnico di MilanoThe year 2025 records more than 14,000 individual satellites and 27,000 tracked objects in orbit (including inactive satellites, rocket stages and larger debris). The risks of overcrowding in space include collisions, light pollution, cyber-attacks, and malfunctioning communications with Earth.
To face this challenge, a consortium of universities and companies - including the Italian AIKO - launched the ASIMOV project with the aim of creating an intelligent “space autopilot”. It is designed to autonomously approach, map and monitor inactive or non-cooperative objects (such as failed satellites) for inspection, maintenance or removalCHAMP welcomes researchers with open arms
University of Tennessee at KnoxvilleUMaine builds sensors that can withstand the next generation of nuclear reactors
University of MaineUniversity of Maine researchers created a microelectronic sensor that can withstand both the in-core radiation levels and the extreme temperatures that exist within these advanced nuclear reactors. The nanotechnology-based microchip at the heart of this sensor system not only survives the harshest reactor environments, it also provides operational data in real-time. This can help nuclear power plant engineers and operators identify technical issues faster and reduce maintenance costs.
