NASA’s 3I ATLAS: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in NASA’s Information Systems

Abstract: The 3I-ATLAS is part of NASA's effort to transition from legacy systems to cognitive data systems for its science and mission operations; this cognitive data system will enable the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data to operate in an Integrated Environment. The 3I-ATLAS is designed to ingest, integrate and interpret multiple domain sources of data automatically; through the use of deep learning-based pipelines, knowledge graphs, and cloud-native orchestration the 3I-ATLAS enables real-time analytics, semantic reasoning and predictive maintenance. This paper reviews the design of the 3I-ATLAS with emphasis on the AI aspects as well as the governance aspects of the 3I-ATLAS, with an eye to how these concepts are advancing NASA's Digital Transformation efforts toward developing Autonomous, Trustworthy, and Interoperable Space Data Ecosystems.
