Earth's Defense with Hera: AI Agents Battle Planet Extinction Threats | Microsoft Build 2025

Discover how the Hera Space Mission, powered by Azure AI, is advancing planetary defense by studying the aftermath of NASA's DART impact on the asteroid Dimorphos. Learn how the Hera Space Companion, an interactive AI tool, provides real-time updates, telemetry data, and engages audiences with mission insights - a collaboration between the European Space Agency, Impact AI, Terra Mater Studios, and Microsoft, using Azure Container Apps, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Cosmos DB in space exploration.

Interactive AI Development: The presentation deeply explores the creation of an AI companion for the European Space Agency's Hera satellite mission. This AI, named Hera, was designed to facilitate communication between people and spacecraft, leveraging sophisticated Azure AI technology to ensure ultra-low latency and natural-sounding voice interactions.

Framework and Tools Utilization: The development harnessed Azure AI Foundry's capabilities, employing a reliable framework that supports safe and efficient voice solutions. This was augmented with CICD pipelines using GitHub Actions and scaled via Azure Container Apps, demonstrating a robust setup for large-scale application deployment.

Enhanced Public Engagement: Hera AI, accessible through the Hera.space web portal, has engaged over 10,000 users since its launch. This initiative exemplifies how interactive AI can personalize and enhance public experience, broadening access to complex scientific data and space exploration insights.

Data Management and Real-Time Interaction: The application brilliantly handles telemetry data through Azora Cosmos DB, ensuring that Hera AI can share real-time mission data, images, and videos. This functionality not only underpins seamless conversations powered by Asia API management but also exemplifies cutting-edge data management in practice.

Comprehensive Development and Outreach: A noteworthy aspect of Hera AI's development is the collaboration across various sectors, including space agencies, AI research teams, and technology providers, to bring space closer to the general public. The AI's capability to provide conversational experiences and its integration with real-time data sharing platforms highlights a significant advancement in how AI can be used for educational and public engagement purposes.

Future Potential and Scalability: Looking forward, Hera AI represents a scalable model for similar applications in other fields. The use of Microsoft Azure and other technological tools offers a replicable template for future innovations, where AI can play a central role in bridging the gap between complex scientific content and public interaction.
