We talk IoT: The Next Space Age: Intelligent Systems, Data, and the Journey Beyond - Episode 40

Published: Sept. 28, 2023, 6:47 a.m.

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). \nKate 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. \nWe'll explore if the answer to our global challenges is written in the stars.\n#space #esa #rocketscience #data #ai #wetalkiot\nSummary of this week's episode:\n(02:05) Introductions\n(03:21) It's rocket science, literally\n(04:44) Intelligent engines\n(07:13) About satellite IoT\n(08:31) Artificial intelligence and non-destructive inspections\n(10:29) Intelligent propulsion\n(11:51) What are cyber-physical systems?\n(12:34) The role data plays in Space\n(14:55) Space can help with climate change\n(21:33) Working in Space\n(23:51) Career advice\n(26:12) Diversity is an asset\n(33:08) The soundtrack\n\xa0\nShow notes:\nKate Underhill: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-underhill-5153922/\nESA TV: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/ESA_Web_TV\nESA Earth Observation and Climate Change data:\nhttps://datalabs.esa.int/\nhttps://climate.esa.int/en/odp/#/dashboard\nhttps://earth.esa.int/eogateway\nSpace and AI:\nhttps://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Preparing_for_the_Future/Discovery_and_Preparation/Artificial_intelligence_in_space\nSpace IoT:\nhttps://research.tudelft.nl/en/publications/space-internet-of-things-space-iot\n\xa0\nKate's playlist\nJamiroquai \u2013 Cosmic Girl (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/6y0Etr2KJr0sdcEp7ajoUK?si=5adb54db3f644766)\nProdigy \u2013 Firestarter (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/79CUrU5o2KAVDTNm4x3eGU?si=06ab422ede084bd0)\nProdigy \u2013 Out of Space (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/6cYJBIE9FC1QAoPw5EhdLA?si=0a97597b1e284597)\nDavid Bowie \u2013 Space Oddity (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/3CDd3KJKMdkN13BCzsj9ch?si=56c23ac9942a4d9b)\nPeter Schilling \u2013 Major Tom (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/709ffFK4o4MtG1NKoLvOma?si=28ff1383d97742e8)\nPublic Service Broadcasting \u2013 Race for Space (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/65KwtzkJXw7oT819NFWmEP?si=yRDptIshTN6A7128HVBpdg)\nHen Ogledd \u2013 Space Golf (https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/3phtWNZEYBtiNvlJefa0Uq?si=6a06165870344d20)\n\xa0\nAbout Avnet Silica:\nThis podcast is brought to you by Avnet Silica - The Engineers of Evolution: https://my.avnet.com/silica/resources/podcast/\nYou can connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/silica-an-avnet-company/.
