非营利组织费米探索者任务宣布计划在2029年底前发射航天器前往比邻星，距离地球4.4光年1。与2016年破晓计划不同，本次项目预算仅1500万美元，致力于实现真正的航天器发射1。该项目采用由AI物理研究公司PSI开发的新型轨迹规划方案，该公司已获得5800万美元融资，由比尔·盖茨创办的突破能源集团领投1。
航天器将携带至少1公斤的有效载荷，包含艺术与科学相关物品以及金唱片副本1。尽管预计飞行时间长达8万年，项目负责人Philip Johnston表示："我们没想做另一个破晓计划。我们决意真正发射某东西。"1
为规划这一星际轨迹，PSI公司开发的AI系统"Get Physics Done"进行了为期三天的研究工作，使用了10亿个token的计算资源，该系统采用Anthropic Claude或OpenAI GPT模型1。相比之下，自1977年起飞行的旅行者1号至今仅覆盖了这一距离的1%以下1。
The Fermi Explorer mission, a nonprofit organization, has announced plans to launch a spacecraft toward Proxima Centauri by the end of 20291. The mission's trajectory was developed using a new AI system called Get Physics Done, created by physics research company PSI, which secured $58 million in funding led by Breakthrough Energy, the venture fund founded by Bill Gates1.
Unlike the 2016 Breakthrough Starshot initiative, the Fermi Explorer mission operates on a significantly smaller budget of $15 million and is committed to achieving an actual launch rather than remaining at the planning stage1. The spacecraft will carry a payload of at least one kilogram, including artistic and scientific materials as well as a copy of the Golden Record1. Though the journey to Proxima Centauri, located 4.4 light-years away, will require approximately 80,000 years of flight time, the mission represents a concrete effort to send humanity's representatives beyond the solar system1. "We didn't want to do another Breakthrough Starshot. We decided to actually launch something," said Philip Johnston1. The AI research required to design this trajectory consumed three days of computation and utilized one billion tokens from Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's GPT models1.
