CIMON – scientific first in space
As a 'crew member', the Crew Interactive MObile companioN (CIMON) is a smart, flying astronaut assistant. Equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), it is designed to support astronauts in their daily work in the 'classic' sense of human-machine interaction and enable them to work even more efficiently on the space station. Following the successful technology demonstrations with Alexander Gerst (pictured), Luca Parmitano and Matthias Maurer, CIMON is to go into service for the first time with Marcus Wandt.
