Deep space exploration can be a high-stakes venture and any failures can be costly, setting you back years. In an era of significant budget cuts, learn how NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Lockheed Martin innovations made spacecraft faster, better, and cheaper and changed the future of building spacecraft for deep space exploration.
We “flash forward” into what the future might look like 50 years from now. An expert discusses how digital transformation—using AI and machine-learning algorithms that process high-rate data—will be instrumental in accomplishing missions of the future.
