companies and predictive maintenance services for energy companies which help energy companies in identifying potential breakdowns or issues which helps them in taking timely action.38 Thus, it can be seen that the artificial intelligence is being actively used in the Indian energy sector.
Artificial Intelligence in the Indian Space Sector The Indian space sector is an eight hundred and eighty eight crore sector which continues to rapidly grow.39 The uses of artificial intelligence in the global space sector have been multifarious and the use of this technology in the Indian space sector is also developing quite rapidly. From the global perspective, the use of artificial intelligence in space has been for risk analysis, space missions planning, remote sensing, commercial handling and management of data obtained from space, improvement in the deployment techniques of space vehicles, rockets, satellites and spaceships, improvement in launch and return capabilities, debris tracking, energy savings during space missions and providing training for space missions.40 There have been several use cases of artificial intelligence in the Indian space sector and examples are given in this portion. The Pragyan Rover, which was launched through the Chandrayaan- 2 spacecraft, is a space robotic vehicle that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to conduct research and exploration activities on the Moon.41 Pragyan Rover can use Moulin, ‘The Advent of Artificial Intelligence in India’s Power Sector’ (Energetica India, 16 March 2018) <https://www.energeticaindia.net/articles/the-advent-of-artificial-intelligence-in-indiaspower-sector> accessed 03 March 2022. 39 Anonna Dutt, ‘India Plans Space Sector Boost in Global Market’ (The Hindustan Times, 07 March 2022) <https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/india-to-open-spacesector-for-foreign-investment-target-10-of-global-market-share101631558791899.html> accessed 07 March 2022. 40 Manohar Samal, 2020 Handbook on AI & International Law, (2021) Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law. 41 Leslie D’ Monte, ‘Chandrayaan- 2 Pragyan Shows How AI is Helping Space Exploration’ (LiveMint, 06 September 2019) 38
