Sber's GigaChat neural network will be used aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to analyze the crew's medical data. This was announced by the Deputy Head of Roscosmos, Sergei Krikalev, on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2025).
According to him, one of the key tasks assigned to the system is to assist in the interpretation of medical indicators, particularly data obtained through ultrasound examinations. The use of the neural network will reduce the amount of data transmitted to Earth, saving the limited resources of the orbital station's communication channel.
We can think about how to process this information so as not to send the full stream of raw data to Earth
The head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov, previously reported that GigaChat will function as a decision support system for the cosmonaut. It will be located on a separate device, which is planned to be delivered to the ISS as part of the autumn launch of the Progress cargo ship. Currently, according to him, the details of the project implementation are being coordinated jointly with Sber.
Thus, the launch of GigaChat into orbit will be the first experience of using a Russian neural network in a long-term space expedition and a step towards more autonomous medical monitoring of the crew.
