Wagstaff, N.A.S.A. Remote space environments simultaneously present significant challenges to the machine learning community and enormous opportunities for advancement. In this talk, I present recent work on three key issues associated with machine learning in space: on-board data classification and regression, on-board prioritization of analysis results, and reliable computing in high-radiation environments. Support vector machines are currently be
