Seems we can't go through an hour without hearing news about artificial intelligence these days. There are a lot of exciting developments, and some of the most exciting when thinking about space are coming from the USRA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS), which is on the cutting edge of the cutting edge. In this episode, we're speaking with the institute's director, Dr. David Bell, who will walk us through the differences between current AI, agentic AI, and--are you ready?--quantum-powered AI, and their current and future potential to revolutionize space exploration and development. Join us!Headlines Trump budget cuts: The Trump administration's fiscal 2026 "skinny" budget proposes slashing NASA's funding by $6 billion—24 % of its current $24.8 billion—threatening SLS, Orion, Gateway, and Mars Sample Return programs. Planet 9 revival: Scientists re-examining 1980s IRAS and 2006–2011 Akari infrared data have uncovered new gravitational signatures suggesting a hidden Planet 9 at ~700 AU, bringing the search closer to confirmation. Speed-round catch-up: NASA's Psyche asteroid mission is battling low fuel pressure; the decades-old Soviet Cosmos 42 Venus probe is slated to re-enter around May 10; and a recent poll finds over half of Gen Z and millennials believe in alien cover-ups. Main Topic – AI in Space with Dr. David Bell USRA & QuAIL overview: Dr. Bell outlines USRA's Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science (RIACS) and its Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab—a collaboration with Google and NASA Ames driving AI and quantum computing integration in space missions Career path & pivotal shifts: With 20+ years at USRA and a prior decade at Xerox PARC, Bell traces AI's journey from 1959's first neural nets to the 2017 transformer breakthrough that sparked today's LLM revolution. Early AI successes: AutoClass's unsupervised learning on the 1980s IRAS mission discovered a new class of infrared stars, and ExoMiner's deep-learning engine has since validated over 300 exoplanets from Kepler data.

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest news and insights in the world of space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna. Today we'll start with SpaceX's rapid progress at Starbase, where they're making significant advances with their launch towers and preparing for future missions. Then we'll move on to a fascinating new initiative from Japanese company Astroscale, which aims to tackle the growing problem of space junk with an innovative $90 million mission. Next, we'll dive into some exciting research being conducted on the International Space Station by NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. Finally, we'll explore Harvard professor Avi Loeb's intriguing hypothesis about how advanced civilizations might use black holes as a power source. Let's dive in.- **SpaceX's Rapid Progress at Starbase**: SpaceX has done it again. They've stacked launch tower two at orbital launch pad B at Starbase, Texas, in record time. This rapid assembly, completed in just 41 Daily, is an impressive feat of engineering and logistics, setting the stage for their innovative chopstick system designed to catch boosters mid-air. - **Astroscale's $90 Million Space Junk Removal Mission**: Japanese company Astroscale recently secured a $90 million contract to remove a bus-sized rocket stage from orbit. This mission, funded by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), is a significant step forward in space sustainability. Astroscale's project, named ADRAS-J2, aims to tackle the issue of space debris head-on, using advanced robotic technologies to clean up our orbits. The mission involves using a robotic arm to grab the tumbling rocket stage and pull it into Earth's atmosphere, where it will burn up on reentry. - **Exciting Research on the ISS**: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been conducting groundbreaking research on the International Space Station (ISS). Their work includes experiments on plant growth in space, fluid physics, and utilizing Astrobee, a set of free-flying robots designed to assist with chores and maintenance. - **Avi Loeb's Black Hole Moon Hypothesis**: Harvard professor Avi Loeb has sparked intriguing discussions with his latest hypothesis, the Black Hole Moon. This groundbreaking idea suggests that advanced civilizations could exploit black holes as potent energy sources, potentially providing a technosignature detectable from Earth. Loeb builds upon Roger Penrose's concept of extracting energy from a rotating black hole's accretion disk and proposes the creation or capture of a small black hole weighing about 100,000 tons. This black hole could emit a massive continuous energy output through Hawking radiation, potentially powering an entire planet and even consuming waste. Detecting such a system could revolutionize our search for extraterrestrial intelligence.For more space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Be inspired as we chat with Maree Timms, founder of Digital Technologies Advisory Committee Wangaratta. DTAC Wangaratta helps students across the region & beyond connect with STEM in a variety of ways! Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About DTAC Wangaratta The Digital Technologies Advisory Committee is a collection of organisations and individuals who are working hard to fix the problem our region is facing with Digital Inclusion. it started as a collaboration between the NE Tracks LLEN ( Local Learning and Employment Network), Local GOTAFE & Charles Sturt University. When DTAC commence in 2016, the local Digital Inclusion score was 43.8. In the most recent report they've shot past the 50% mark with a new scoring of 50.8 - an increase of 7%! (By comparison Melbourne moved from 62.5% to 63.6% in the same period). In Maree's words: We do our own teacher workshops, and now collaborations for regional workshops with DLTV ( Digital Learning & Teaching Victoria, STAV Science teachers association, MAV maths teachers association & OZgrav at Swinburne) Also a big focus is “girls in STEM” – we have had a number of these workshops including one of the coolest, where we have had FORD engineers travel to Wangaratta to work with our local girls. Last year with COVID put a bit of a halt on things, but we have created another partnership with One Giant Leap Australia Foundation, who have many cool space projects. The Kibo Challenge, seeds in space program – check out their website for more info. "The formation of DTAC has to sit high up there with creating change and innovation in our community. We would never had thought we would have achieved all this.  There has been so many wonderful outcomes." Further link www.DTAC.zone About Maree Timms Maree grew up in Wangaratta and attended Monash University, becoming a science teacher & started teaching in 1986 in a very multicultural school. At 25 years old she taught in Turkey for 10 months and then backpacked across a variety of countries during a 2.5 year period. She moved to the Northern Territory to teach at Taminmin College for 4 years followed by Gunbalanya Community School for 10 years in Arnhemland where she "learnt more than I ever taught!!". She returned to Wangaratta following this and has now been teaching at Galen Catholic College for past 14 years. In her words... I've had way too many cool things happen in my teaching career. Taking a group of students from Humpty Doo ( Taminmin College) to Open the National Science week way back in 1994's at Parliament house. Infront of Dr Karl Kruszelnickii!!  We created the Taminmin Magic Science Show! Taking a group of Indigenous kids ( Gunbalanya) to the Paralympic Games for the whole two weeks Taking a group of Indigenous Kids/parents and Elders ( Gunbalanya) to accept an award for a Claymation we created to Melbourne. ( It won NT film of the year!!)  https://vimeo.com/139298727 Winning the right to represent Australia at the VEX Worlds Robotics Championships, in 2018, 2019 and 2020 ( we couldn't go in 2020) Being invited to have lunch with the Lead Scientist of Victoria in her office – with our robotics team Winning the Right to represent Australia in the 1st Kibo Challenge 2020 and see our student's code control NASA's Astrobee robot on the ISS. I still don't know how to code…or build robots – but have taken teams to the highest level. I gather good allies/colleagues that have the skills I don't have and compliment mine. Kids who are willing to learn and have a go and teach themselves! They are the YouTube and online forum generation! I coordinate, facilitate, and “hammer' them on the communication, teamwork, organisation skills that helps to lead them to success.

Humming as they go, but softly to comply with noise limits on the space station, the Astrobees can take environmental readings or perform inventory.

Astrobee will test how robots might assist crew or perform caretaking duties on spacecraft.

Astrobee, a free-flying robot, took its first spin around the station. The crew also released four small cube satellites from different countries into low earth orbit.

Busy as a bee, or in this case, Astrobee. These robots are working hard on the International Space Station.

With the station back to full power, SpaceX is ready to launch their 17th resupply mission. Astrobee, a new free-flying robot will assist the crew with chores on board station.

In 7th grade, after reading a newspaper article about female engineers at NASA, Maria Bualat knew that was what she wanted to do when she grew up. Fast forward to today, and now Maria is a robotics engineer at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA where she develops robotics systems for space exploration. Her main project at the moment is Astrobee-- a free flying robot for the International Space Station. It’ll help astronauts in the space station and measure the quality of the air there. As the deputy group lead for the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames, she does the high level thinking, and mostly works on project management and systems engineering. This means she sets the goals and direction of the project and coordinates with different teams and engineers to make sure the project is successful. To get here, she earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, and was hired right out of school. She continued her education and earned a master’s degree also in electrical engineering with an emphasis in controls while simultaneously working at NASA. For students interested in a career in science or engineering, she recommends cultivating good communication and writing skills.
