China's 'self-driving' satellites, named Siwei Gaojing-2 03 and Gaojing-2 04, can autonomously maintain or change flight paths without ground intervention
China has launched the world's first self-driving satellite, named "Neurons," which operates autonomously in space, marking a significant advancement in space technology. This satellite, developed by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, uses AI to navigate and manage its operations without human intervention. Launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Neurons can independently perform tasks like imaging, data processing, and decision-making, which traditionally require ground control. This development not only showcases China's growing prowess in AI and space technology but also has potential applications in various fields including Earth observation, disaster management, and military intelligence. The satellite's ability to adapt to changing conditions in space autonomously could pave the way for more efficient and cost-effective space missions in the future.
