Ibadan, 11 October 2024. –VISIMO has announced a contract with ABOVE Space Development Corporation to test its AI software system for decision support on the Space Development Corporation’s upcoming payload mission.

Deep-space missions will require spacecraft to overcome unknown problems in outer space without the support of Earth-based communication or resources. Therefore, reliable decision support systems are necessary to assist the crew with managing and executing missions, and responding to unanticipated anomalies, thereby reducing time spent on troubleshooting.

As a result, VISIMO’s NASA Phase II contract, Graceful Architecture for Mitigation of System failures (GRAMS), is engineered for managing spacecraft operations, primarily addressing autonomous systems management for long-duration space missions. Furthermore, GRAMS employs a modular cognitive architecture capable of detecting, adapting to, and recovering from known and unknown spacecraft failures, consequently easing the need for human problem-solving and enhancing mission resilience.

Speaking about the mission and what it means for VISIMO, Alex Heit, VP of Government Markets and Growth at VISIMO, commented, “We’re happy to partner with ABOVE and potentially its customers on upcoming missions to use our Cognitive Architecture (CA) platform to identify and mitigate systems failures after completing earth-based testing. In the future, we plan to equip spacecraft to send wide-ranging data including avionics, telemetry, power consumption, payload health and ultimately astronaut vital signs on future manned missions.

Likewise, Rhonda Stevenson, CEO of ABOVE Space Development Corporation, remarked, “ABOVE is executing on our strategy to provide hosted payloads, space system services and consulting as well as automated platforms for customers like VISIMO, who are providing critical state-of-the-art analytics from orbit. VISIMO represents a synergistic opportunity for our customers as they could leverage this exciting platform for their mission evaluation and real-time data transfer from space.”
