THE CRUNCH

AstroForge is integrating a small, transformer-based AI model into its next spacecraft, Autonomy-1, to take charge of the probe's operations. The company aims to use this AI to manage the spacecraft autonomously, reducing the need for human intervention during its mission.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The company will test the AI's capabilities during the Autonomy-1 mission, which is scheduled for launch in late 2026.
