While Space might seem a world away from our everyday experiences with the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data, our guest bridges that gap today. I'm excited to introduce Kate Underhill, a rocket scientist from the European Space Agency (ESA). Kate works with the 'Future Launchers Preparatory Programme' at ESA, blending cutting-edge technology with space exploration, from implementing AI in non-destructive hardware inspections to creating intelligent propulsion systems. We'll explore if the answer to our global challenges is written in the stars. #space #esa #rocketscience #data #ai #wetalkiot Summary of this week's episode: (02:05) Introductions (03:21) It's rocket science, literally (04:44) Intelligent engines (07:13) About satellite IoT (08:31) Artificial intelligence and non-destructive inspections (10:29) Intelligent propulsion (11:51) What are cyber-physical systems?
