Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sergey Chernyshev, said that full automation of space exploration is not yet possible. According to him, humans remain indispensable on board spacecraft, especially when working with high-tech equipment.
Chernyshev explained that managing complex systems and responding to unexpected situations requires human intelligence. The scientist pointed out that even the most modern automatic systems are not able to cope with the unique challenges that arise in space.
Although unmanned technologies are successfully used on Earth and can be used in aviation, their capabilities in space are limited. The space environment requires flexibility and the ability to make real-time decisions, which is impossible without human participation.
Thus, according to Chernyshev, human presence in space is necessary for the successful conduct of scientific experiments and ensuring the safety of missions. Human intelligence and adaptability remain key factors in the complex and unpredictable space environment.
