Satellite autonomously finds target using AI for first time

An Earth observation satellite has successfully identified a target autonomously, a first for space missions. This was achieved by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Loft Orbital, utilizing Google DeepMind's Gemma 3 model in orbit. This advancement paves the way for AI-powered space sensors capable of real-time data triage and response to natural language commands. AI

IMPACT Enables autonomous AI-powered space sensors for real-time data analysis and natural language interaction.
