Future Ventures’ <a href="https://future.ventures/bio" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Maryanna Saenko</a> and <a href="https://latentai.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">LatentAI</a> are part of the NASA Science Mission Directorate's Entrepreneurs Challenge today: <a href="https://www.nasa-science-challenge.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.nasa-science-challenge.com</a>

For this inaugural Entrepreneurs Challenge the technology priorities are interesting:

• Physics-based transfer learning and artificial intelligence for autonomous spacecraft and surface rovers, and for Earth observation and disaster management systems, trained on the ground with historical data and using physical models to inform the transfer learning process before the algorithms are run onboard; for the processing of astronomical data, developing optimal data, developing optimal diagnostics and algorithms for interpreting spectral and temporal datasets.

• Advanced mass spectrometry for life detection and other science applications, using instrumentation that is beyond state-of-the-art in low-power and mass, and utilizing innovations in sampling technologies and processes, cutting edge materials, and components.
