Lockheed Martin, Amazon and Cisco have teamed up to integrate unique human-machine interface technologies into NASA’s Orion spacecraft.

The collaboration seeks to provide future astronauts with the opportunity to learn and benefit from far-field voice technology, AI and tablet-based video collaboration.

The payload was designed and built by Lockheed Martin and will be integrated into NASA’s Orion spacecraft for the agency’s Artemis I uncrewed mission around the Moon and back to Earth. It will use Amazon Alexa and Webex by Cisco to test and demonstrate commercial technology for deep space voice, video and whiteboarding communications.
