Saying “Alexa, take me to the moon” within earshot of allowed devices will access mission updates, while Webex will provide opportunities for remote classroom and STEM (science, innovation, engineering and mathematics) teaching events.Where no virtual assistant has gone before”The Star Trek computer was part of our initial inspiration for Alexa, so its amazing and humbling to see our vision for ambient intelligence come to life on board Orion,” said Aaron Rubenson, vice president of Amazon Alexa.Similar to how the team of the Starship Enterprise might ask the ships smart computer system for status updates (or activate the periodic self-destruct command), Alexa, as part of Callisto, will be able to offer details on flight status and telemetry, consisting of things like spacecraft orientation, water supply amounts and battery voltage levels. Alexa will be able to gain access to real-time telemetry information and respond quickly to thousands of mission-specific concerns throughout the flight.When needed, Callisto can also tap into the Deep Space Network, allowing Alexa to retrieve information from Earth, consisting of news briefings and sports scores, to help crew members stay connected while still in deep space.Without any astronauts aboard Artemis 1– for this first objective, Orion will fly with a manikin and body mass simulators– Callisto will interact with virtual team members instead.Operators working in objective control at NASAs Johnson Space Center in Houston will be able to connect from another location with Callisto to demonstrate and evaluate how the voice and video cooperation innovations can assist future astronauts enhance efficiency and situational awareness during a mission.Long-distance video callA custom variation of Ciscos Webex video conferencing software will permit Callisto to host video calls between the Artemis 1 virtual crew members and the payload on board Orion.Infographic detailing how virtual crew members will be able to use Amazons Alexa and Ciscos Webex to communicate with the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft from NASA mission control on Earth. Alexa will be able to provide its users with extensive info on Artemis I, consisting of telemetry information, videos and imagery from the objective (including a launch livestream) and reminders and alerts about key mission events.Amazon is likewise creating “Alexa for Astronauts,” a new Amazon Future Engineer program.
Stating “Alexa, take me to the moon” within earshot of made it possible for devices will access objective updates, while Webex will offer chances for remote class and STEM (science, innovation, engineering and mathematics) teaching events.Where no virtual assistant has gone before”The Star Trek computer was part of our initial motivation for Alexa, so its interesting and humbling to see our vision for ambient intelligence come to life on board Orion,” said Aaron Rubenson, vice president of Amazon Alexa.Similar to how the crew of the Starship Enterprise might ask the ships intelligent computer for status updates (or trigger the occasional self-destruct command), Alexa, as part of Callisto, will be able to offer details on flight status and telemetry, consisting of things like spacecraft orientation, water supply amounts and battery voltage levels. Callisto uses Amazons Local Voice Control, which permits Alexa to work in areas where there is limited to no connectivity.Instead of sending out info back to Earth to be processed in the cloud, Alexa will link directly to Orions computer system and its own on board cloud of information. Alexa will be able to access real-time telemetry data and respond quickly to thousands of mission-specific questions throughout the flight.When required, Callisto can also tap into the Deep Space Network, enabling Alexa to obtain info from Earth, including news rundowns and sports ratings, to assist team members remain connected while still in deep space.Without any astronauts aboard Artemis 1– for this first objective, Orion will fly with a manikin and body mass simulators– Callisto will connect with virtual team members instead.Operators working in mission control at NASAs Johnson Space Center in Houston will be able to communicate from another location with Callisto to show and evaluate how the voice and video partnership innovations can assist future astronauts enhance effectiveness and situational awareness during a mission.Long-distance video callA customized variation of Ciscos Webex video conferencing software application will allow Callisto to host video calls in between the Artemis 1 virtual crew members and the payload on board Orion.Infographic detailing how virtual team members will be able to utilize Amazons Alexa and Ciscos Webex to connect with the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft from NASA mission control on Earth.Alexa, take me to the moonWhen Artemis 1 launches, Callistos Alexa and Webex functions will enable the public an unprecedented view of the Orions journey as the objective unfolds. Alexa will be able to supply its users with thorough details on Artemis I, including telemetry information, videos and images from the objective (consisting of a launch livestream) and suggestions and alerts about key objective events.Amazon is also producing “Alexa for Astronauts,” a new Amazon Future Engineer program.
