This system provides AI-powered trajectory planning, flight product definition, and safety monitoring to support operations of the Canadarm3 robotic arm on the Lunar Gateway space station. It assists Canadian Space Agency engineers and mission operators in planning and overseeing robotic arm movements in space. Because the arm operates in a remote and hazardous environment, the AI helps ensure that planned manoeuvres are safe before they are executed by human operators.
