Firefly Aerospace to Use NVIDIA Jetson for On-Orbit AI Processing Around Moon

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Firefly Aerospace is set to deploy the NVIDIA Jetson platform for on-orbit AI processing during its Blue Ghost Mission 2, scheduled for late 2026. This mission will mark the first time the Jetson platform operates in lunar orbit, enabling real-time data analysis and transmission of critical insights rather than large volumes of raw data. The technology will be utilized for various applications, including mapping lunar landing sites, detecting mineral compositions, and providing situational awareness for lunar operations, aiming to build a more connected space ecosystem. AI

IMPACT Enables real-time data analysis in space, reducing latency and downlink costs for future space missions.
