VIASPACE , specializing in national security and homeland defense, has been developing it's SHINE technology. "SHINE is a real-time inference engine and software platform originally developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for space flight operations, and is used in several NASA applications including the Mars Exploration Rover and Spacecraft Health Automatic Reasoning Pilot (SHARP) program." This technology is already being used in space, and specifically for Mars missions, so how long before we move our national defense to space as well? Like we discussed in class earlier, can one country claim Mars or any planet (or moon) as their own? What happens when we move defense and weapons into space?
VIASPACE is looking for open markets for its new technology. Space business will potentially be an area for marketing and SHINE (or products very similar to it) will definitely be needed for security in space.
