System and Method for AI Based Spacecraft Shielding Design Patent uri icon

abstract

  • Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to determine optimal design framework and topology for space craft shielding. A system can receive measured extravehicular or intravehicular activity radiation fields and generate a plurality of shielding profiles. The system can then repeatedly execute an optimization algorithm until a minimum number of iterations is performed. The optimization algorithm can include: scoring each shielding profile with respect to the measured intravehicular activity radiation fields; pairing the shielding profiles within the plurality of shielding profiles, resulting in paired shielding profiles; for each pair of shielding profiles within the paired shielding profiles, selecting the shielding profile with the higher score as a parent profile, resulting in parent shielding profiles; generating new shielding profiles using pairs of the parent shielding profiles; and adding the new shielding profiles to the plurality of shielding profiles.
