Pushing the boundaries of small spacecraft autonomy 🛰️

NASA’s Starling 1.5+ mission tested software that enabled its four spacecraft to make decisions, coordinate, and operate independently in low Earth orbit.

Advancing this technology paves the way for autonomous spacecraft swarms to support missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond—where real-time communication is limited.

🛰️⏩🔴 Europe is working towards a reusable tug called LightShip to open low-cost missions to Mars.

@esa is now calling for proposals for science payloads of opportunity to travel on the propulsive tug and its passenger spacecraft.

[Argotec @Argotec_Space]

Pushing the boundaries of innovation and exploration has always been at the heart of Argotec's mission.

Today we celebrate a new milestone: as prime contractor for HENON, ESA's first stand-alone CubeSat deep space mission for space weather monitoring, we have officially started the final implementation phase of the mission.
Another step forward for Argotec and our incredible team!

Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses a significant impact risk. ESA's latest analysis has reduced the probability of an Earth impact in 2032 to 0.001%. Planetary Defenders continue to keep watch for any other asteroids that may come too close for comfort🛡️🔭

Autonomy will help us all on Earth and in the solar system and the Starling spacecraft swarm moved us forward in this area: “The accomplishments of DSA [Deep Space Autonomy] onboard Starling include the first fully distributed autonomous operation of multiple spacecraft, the first use of space-to-space communications to autonomously share status information between multiple spacecraft, the first demonstration of fully distributed reactive operations onboard multiple spacecraft, the first use of a general-purpose automated reasoning system onboard a spacecraft, and the first use of fully distributed automated planning onboard multiple spacecraft.”
