AstroForge 用 AI 自主控制其下一艘航天器
原标题：AstroForge is putting AI in command of its next spacecraft
AI 摘要
小行星采矿初创公司 AstroForge 为其航天器开发了名为 Solo 的自主控制栈，这是一个基于 Transformer 的自研模型，用于在缺乏地面控制资源的情况下让航天器自主解决异常。该公司计划于 2027 年由 Stoke Space 的首次火箭发射其首艘自主航天器 Autonomy-1，并可能不搭载可接收地球指令的无线电。此前其两艘原型航天器均因异常未能完成大部分任务目标，2025 年发射的 Odin 更是失去控制，促使公司转向 AI 自主方案。

Fly to an asteroid, land on it, make no mistakes: If only it were that easy. When NASA sends spacecraft to explore the solar system, they build in redundancy and automation. But much of the work is done by teams of flight controllers communicating with the vehicle from Earth. The Osiris-Rex mission, which rendezvoused with an asteroid in 2018, had 100 operators on each eight-hour shift. But resources like that aren’t available to startups, so AstroForge, which is developing technology to mine as
