NASA Scientists Plan to Approach Woman by 2028

By: NASA Press Office | April 2024

NASA's team of scientists has announced plans to conduct an experimental mission in 2028 to approach a woman in space. The project aims to study how humans interact with artificial intelligence (AI) systems during long-duration missions.

The experiment will take place aboard the International Space Station (ISS). A small AI assistant will be introduced to the crew to help with daily tasks such as scheduling, communication, and basic maintenance. The goal is to understand how these AI assistants adapt to human behavior in a confined and isolated environment.

• Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of AI in supporting human astronauts during extended stays in space.
• Method: The AI assistant will be trained on historical data from previous space missions and will evolve through machine learning algorithms.
• Timeline: The project is expected to run from 2024 to 2028, with results anticipated by early 2026.
