The Department of Computer Engineering (DEI) of the “Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto” (ISEP), in collaboration with the Master's in Computer Engineering (MEI), the Master's in Artificial Intelligence Engineering (MEIA) and the PhD in AI and Intelligent Systems Engineering (DIAESI), invites to participate in the lecture "AEROS - MH1 - Software Challenges for Space", which will take place on April 2nd, at 6 p.m., in room B203.
Abstract
In this session, will be shared experiences in the development of embedded software for satellites and discussed two types of satellites: “New Space” satellites, using the AEROS MH-1 development as an example; and “Old Space” satellites, where will be presented experiences with critical software development applied to various missions such as Galileo, IXV, Solar Orbiter, EUCLID, smallGEO, among others. Will be described the different stages of satellite development, from concept definition to operations in space – from A to Z. Finally, will be discussed the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in satellites, exploring its applications and possible implementations.
Bio
Helder Silva is the Director of Aerospace Flight Systems at Thales Edisoft Portugal. He has over 20 years of experience working with critical software systems for aeronautical and space applications. He led the development of RTEMS Improvement, a real-time operating system for space missions, which is currently being used in several European space missions. He has supported many ongoing missions, including some outside Europe. He was the lead of the AEROS Constellation, a constellation of CubeSats developed to monitor the oceans in the Portuguese economic zone. He holds a degree in Aerospace Engineering, and has completed coursework for Master’s degrees in Control and Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and a Master of Business Administration in Finance.
