Satellite finds targets autonomously using AI in orbit
1 min read
An Earth observation satellite autonomously identified areas of interest using a vision-language model in orbit for the first time. The Yam-9 spacecraft, built by Loft Orbital, ran NASA JPL's software powered by Google DeepMind's Gemma 3 to classify sensor data from natural language queries. This reduces the need to download raw data for human analysis.
