NASA's Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) is jointly developing INDUS, a suite of large language models (LLM) aimed at fields such as Earth science, biological and physical sciences, heliophysics, planetary science, and astrophysics, through signing Space Act agreements with private, non-federal partners. The model is trained using curated scientific literature from diverse data sources.

NASA is using AI technology to advance the Artemis moon mission with the VIPER rover exploring the lunar surface. SHERPA acts as the AI brain behind the VIPER mission, applying time-constrained planning to the mission. The VIPER mission is pushing the boundaries of space exploration and paving the way for humanity's return to the Moon.

IBM and NASA are collaborating to develop geospatial AI to combat climate change. The partnership aims to create multimodal foundation models for weather prediction, heat island effect analysis, mapping, and predicting extreme weather events. IBM plans to open-source the model to promote research and scientific discoveries globally. This foundation model is expected to accelerate scientific discoveries and provide researchers with rapid solutions to contribute to a safer and healthier planet.

NASA emphasizes the crucial role of artificial intelligence in the search for alien life and UFOs. NASA has released a 36-page UFO report highlighting the necessity of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The agency plans to utilize AI to detect anomalies, continue exploring the universe, and search for habitable planets. The use of artificial intelligence is a focal point in NASA's research, but regulatory measures are also needed to ensure safety and ethical use.

IBM and NASA have open-sourced the world's largest geospatial model, Prithvi, on Hugging Face. It enables efficient data analysis through climate change prediction, flood mapping, crop identification, and more. The article introduces Prithvi's functionalities and provides the open-source dataset link, as well as a link for online experience.
