My first impression was, “Wow, this is one speedy voice assistant.” It responded to commands in milliseconds — when it recognized them correctly; yes, there’s stillThis speed is because Amazon engineers developed an entirely local Alexa for Orion — there’s no cloud in space . Space Alexa is completely self-sufficient, something I’d love to see in Amazon’s Earth version.
Testing out Alexa voice commands and the Cisco Webex conferencing platform running on an iPad built into Callisto.How on Earth will they find room for it on a spacecraft? NASA is not sending aninto deep space. Instead, Lockheed Martin developed a special — and very large — spacesuit for the voice assistant’s software.
Currently, Callisto is sitting where the astronauts’ controls will be on future crewed missions, as Artemis I is uncrewed. Obviously, it’s not going there if it ever gets to ride along with a real crew. If that happens, it will get a hardware redesign, said Jones. This was the problem Amazon set out to solve. But even with Callisto on board Artemis, they are still light-years away from a serious solution.
