AI is Designing a New Spacecraft Propulsion Element

Northrop Grumman Collaborating with Luminary Cloud on the Project

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to spacecraft propulsion with a new physics AI foundation model that is being designed by Northrop Grumman and Luminary Cloud. The model is capable of rapidly designing a spacecraft thruster nozzle.

“Using AI to make something small, like a spacecraft thruster, puts us on a path to do much bigger things, lik…
