Amazon's Alexa has a new feature: it can fly you to the moon. The virtual assistant is set to launch on NASA's Artemis 1 with Cisco's Webex as part of Callisto on Lockheed Martin's Orion spacecraft.
— Callisto will interact with virtual crew members instead.
"Through Callisto, Webex is enabling boundless video communications and collaboration in deep space. This first-of-its-kind solution could one day support future crewed missions, providing face-to-face interaction between crew, command center and loved ones," said Jeetu Patel, executive vice president and general manager of security and collaboration at Cisco.
On future Artemis missions, Callisto may also be able to make the astronauts' jobs more enjoyable by allowing them to communicate with their families and friends. "Callisto is very photogenic," said Chambers, adding that the Orion spacecraft will have an array of cameras inside."People will really feel like they are along for the ride."
