Remote Support Solution:
  • Deploy cognitive radio systems with dynamic spectrum access to automatically避开 crowded frequencies.
  • Accelerate the transition to free-space optical (laser) communication for high-bandwidth, interference-free links.

87. Cross-Network Interoperability

Lack of standardized protocols between different national and commercial space agencies.

Remote Support Solution:
  • Mandate API-first satellite bus designs and open-source flight software (e.g., cFS).
  • Adopt universal data formatting standards to ensure seamless handoffs between commercial and government ground stations.

88. Autonomous AI in Space

Ensuring reliable, ethical, and safe decision-making by spacecraft without human oversight.

Remote Support Solution:
  • Use constrained, deterministic AI models written in formally verified languages (like Rust) to prevent unpredictable behavior.
  • Hardcode ethical and safety guardrails at the bootloader level, immutable without multi-party cryptographic consensus.

95. Prohibitive Launch Costs

High financial barriers to deploying and upgrading space-based ICT hardware.

Remote Support Solution:
  • Maximize the use of Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and Software-Defined Satellites to allow mission profiles to change post-launch.
