MARS-MINDS — Martian Intelligent Navigation and Decision System

MSc thesis, NED University: deep learning on orbital imagery to classify terrain, find habitat sites, judge landing hazards, plan missions and forecast dust storms. Version 2 (in development) coordinates five specialist models with a reinforcement-learning controller across 21 public NASA and ESA datasets.

Results as reported by the author from thesis experiments. Public NASA, JPL and ESA imagery; no space-agency affiliation.

How the systems are built

Six layers between a request and a released action

One shared architecture runs under every system: orchestration, an ephemeral runtime, an interoperable transport fabric, zero-trust security, tracing with cost attribution, and governance with human approval.

Follow one request through the stack

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5
  6. 6

Press Trace a request or choose a layer.

1 · Swarm orchestration layer

LangGraph · Claude Agent SDK · OpenAI Agents SDK · Google ADK · CrewAI · AutoGen · Temporal (durable workflows) · XState

What this layer does
  • Supervisor, hierarchical and peer-swarm topologies; decomposition, hand-off, consensus; asynchronous event-driven orchestration, self-correcting retries.
  • Autonomy widened only behind evaluation gates and human-in-the-loop approval.

2 · Cognitive runtime & micro-harness layer

Python / FastAPI · Pydantic (structured output) · E2B / gVisor sandboxes · Docker · pgvector · Neo4j / NetworkX graph traversal · Redis · vLLM

What this layer does
  • Per-task runtimes synthesised at dispatch: prompts, tools, memory and policies compiled for one job, then discarded.
  • Sandboxed tools, scoped credentials, token and time budgets, structured-output contracts; multi-hop GraphRAG as a runtime service.

3 · Transport & interoperability fabric

MCP Python / TypeScript SDKs · A2A SDK · AP2 · Connect RPC / Protobuf · gRPC · OpenAPI · NATS / Kafka · Envoy / AgentGateway

What this layer does
  • MCP servers over stdio and Streamable HTTP (spec 2026-07-28, stateless, OAuth 2.1); A2A v1.0 Agent Cards over JSON-RPC, gRPC and HTTP+JSON for federated discovery.
  • AP2 mandates for agent payments; versioned contracts for schema evolution.

4 · Zero-trust & multi-tenant security plane

SPIFFE / SPIRE · OAuth 2.1 / OIDC (Keycloak) · Open Policy Agent · HashiCorp Vault · PostgreSQL RLS · Kubernetes NetworkPolicy · mTLS

What this layer does
  • Workload identity, least-privilege tool scopes, per-request authorisation (NIST SP 800-207); controls mapped to the OWASP LLM and Agentic Top 10 (2026).
  • Cross-silo tenant isolation: row-level security, separate keys, encrypted exports.

5 · Tracing, attestation & micro-FinOps

OpenTelemetry · LangSmith · Langfuse · Grafana / Prometheus · Sigstore-style signing · FOCUS 1.4 · OpenCost · Power BI

What this layer does
  • OpenTelemetry GenAI spans through MCP trace context; SHA-256 signed attestation of every tool call and model decision — a non-repudiable audit trail.
  • Token-level cost per tenant, agent and task; FOCUS-aligned data; cost per successful task as the KPI.

6 · Governance & HITL guardrails

LangGraph interrupts (HITL) · NeMo Guardrails · Guardrails AI · DeepEval / Ragas evaluation · GitHub Actions gated releases · Argo Rollouts

What this layer does
  • Human approval at the compilation layer for healthcare, SAP ERP and therapeutic EdTech; release gate = regression evaluation + output validation + rollback.
  • EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001 readiness (not certification).

Delta AI Engineering · Intelligence for a brighter tomorrow

Bring a hard problem.

In engineering, Δ means change. Delta AI Engineering designs, builds and operates production AI to produce a specific, measurable change in how an organisation works, and proves it happened.

Agentic systems

Multi-agent workflows with tools, memory and human approval at the points that matter.

Retrieval and knowledge

Hybrid search, reranking and knowledge graphs that answer from your own documents, with citations.

Cloud and platform engineering

Containerised services, CI/CD, infrastructure as code and observability from the first commit.

Evaluation and LLMOps

Regression evaluations, tracing, release gates and cost tracking so quality is measured, not assumed.

Applied data science

Forecasting, classification and analytics that feed decisions, with honest error bars.

AI strategy and architecture

Use cases ranked by value, feasibility and risk; build, buy or wait; what it should cost to run.

Discovery sprint

A fixed, short engagement that ends with a ranked opportunity map, an architecture and a costed plan.

Build a vertical slice

One production-ready workflow, delivered end to end with evaluation and monitoring.

Embedded engineering

Engineers join the client team to deliver, review and mentor, with shared ownership of outcomes.
