Aybüke, a young engineer from Turkey, developed a Mars digital twin named PRIORITY as part of her undergraduate thesis.
PRIORITY is a project that visualizes Mars in 3D, analyzes data patterns, predicts surface anomalies using AI models, and connects real NASA data to AI pipelines.
AI is essential in space exploration for anomaly detection, regression modeling, surface classification, and reinforcement learning to navigate risks and optimize resources.
The Mars digital twin project aims to benefit not only space agencies but also climate modelers, urban planners, educators, and anyone seeking to understand complexity and improve systems on Earth.
