小行星采矿初创公司AstroForge正在开发名为Solo的人工智能自主控制系统，用于驾驭其未来的太空探索任务1。该系统采用Transformer模型架构，经过约2500个航天器传感器数据的训练1。
AstroForge成立于2022年，已获得5600万美元风险融资1。该公司在2025年发射的Odin航天器失去控制，这促使其转向AI解决方案1。根据公司首席执行官Matthew Gialich的计划，在Autonomy-1任务中，航天器将不再配备能接收地球信号的无线电1。深空通信的资源限制是这一转变的重要背景——建设全球深空站点需要投入约2亿美元1。
该公司已规划了AI自主系统的部署阶段。DeepSpace-2航天器预计将在2026年底前与Intuitive Machines月球任务一起发射，期间Solo系统将在"影子模式"下进行飞行测试1。首架完全自主运行的航天器计划通过Stoke Space火箭于2027年部署1。
AstroForge, an asteroid mining startup founded in 2022, is developing an AI-powered autonomous control system called Solo to command its future spacecraft operations.1 The system, built on a Transformer neural network model, has been trained on data from approximately 2,500 spacecraft sensors.1 This represents the company's strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence solutions following the loss of contact with its Odin spacecraft in 2025, a mission that underscored the limitations of Earth-based deep space communications.1
The company has secured $56 million in venture funding.1 The company plans to deploy its first fully autonomous spacecraft through a Stoke Space rocket mission scheduled for 2027.1 Prior to full deployment, AstroForge's next spacecraft, DeepSpace-2, is expected to launch by the end of 2026 alongside an Intuitive Machines lunar mission, where Solo will conduct test flights in "shadow mode" while remaining under monitoring.1 CEO Matthew Gialich has indicated that the subsequent Autonomy-1 mission will operate without radio receivers capable of picking up signals from Earth, marking a significant step toward true autonomous deep space operations.1 Building adequate ground-based deep space communication infrastructure would require approximately $200 million to establish five global stations worldwide, making autonomous spacecraft control a cost-effective alternative for the company's future missions.1
