NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley invites media to learn more about Distributed Spacecraft Autonomy (DSA), a technology that allows individual spacecraft to make independent decisions while collaborating with each other to achieve common goals \u2013 without human input. The DSA team achieved multiple firsts<\/a> during tests of such swarm technology as part of the agency\u2019s project.\u00a0<\/p>\n DSA develops software tools critical for future autonomous, distributed, and intelligent spacecraft that will need to interact with each other to achieve complex mission objectives. Testing onboard the agency\u2019s Starling<\/a> mission resulted in accomplishments including the first fully distributed autonomous operation of multiple spacecraft, the first use of space-to-space communications to autonomously share status information between multiple spacecraft, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n DSA\u2019s accomplishments mark a significant milestone in advancing autonomous systems that will make new types of science and exploration possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n Caleb Adams, DSA project manager, is available for interview on Wednesday, Feb. 5 and Thursday, Feb. 6. To request an interview, media can contact the Ames Office of Communications by email at arc-dl-newsroom@nasa.gov<\/a> or by phone at 650-604-4789.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n Learn more about NASA Ames\u2019 world-class research and development in aeronautics, science, and exploration technology at:\u00a0<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/ames<\/a><\/p>\n -end-\u00a0<\/p>\n Tiffany Blake To receive local NASA Ames news, email <\/em>local-reporters-request@lists.arc.nasa.gov<\/em><\/a> with \u201csubscribe\u201d in the subject line.
