On-orbit AI promises faster decisions, lower down-link burden, and scalable autonomy — but most missions are not designed with the compute, power, memory, and software flexibility needed to keep up with rapidly evolving AI models. The core mismatch is timeline: spacecraft hardware is chosen years before launch and must last 5+ years, while AI techniques and models can change in weeks or months.
Learn how hardware decisions made today determine whether tomorrow’s space missions can use AI at scale.
