Our work "Learning in Orbit: Onboard Training and Closed-Loop Attitude Control with a Thermal Segmentation Model on a Spacecraft" is finally on arXiv arxiv.org/pdf/2610.19122 In 2025, we demonstrated both learning (training) and inference of a vision model onboard a spacecraft, running on an @nvidia Jetson TX2 NX, and used it for closed-loop attitude control. For me, the motivation was to show that the algorithms & compute we develop in robotics on Earth can fly in space. I may be biased, but I think this paper is especially valuable to the community. Beyond the algorithm innovations, we document the open-source stack that made it work in orbit, including ROS 2 (@OpenRoboticsOrg) and @OpenZFS, along with the failure cases and lessons learned along the way. Joint work with Hannah Grauer (@hannah_grauer), Phaedrus Leeds, Nikhil Ranganathan, Connor Lee, Sulekha Kishore, Cailyn Smith, Shon Cortes, Brian Hardy, Benjamen Bycroft, Darren W. Rowen, and Soon-Jo Chung. @AerospaceCorp I attached my favourite thermal picture: moon rise.

As space becomes more active and interconnected, infrastructure also has to support something beyond hardware: the ability to understand the environment, adapt, and act. Read The Dynamic Domain in LEO and Beyond: In-Space Infrastructure: spacecomsecondstage.com/the-… @AerospaceCorp

LEO is filling up fast. As satellite traffic expands, collision risks are rising, maneuvering is becoming routine, and old assumptions about orbital access are being challenged. At #IAC2026, Aerospace’s Marlon Sorge joins moderator Clay Mowry and panelists Chris Blackerby, Mariel Borowitz, Holger Krag, and Andrew Ratcliffe as they discuss the question: is LEO reaching capacity? And if so, what's next? See the agenda: iafastro.org/events/iac/inte… #SpaceEconomy #LEO #SpaceSustainability #SpaceTraffic #OrbitalDebris

Through real-time, collaborative engineering, Aerospace's Concurrent Design Center (CDC) helps turn bold ideas into real space missions and technologies, which may barely resemble the original concepts. Our CDC team recently worked with @UofMaryland's TERP RAPTOR team on their mission to study the asteroid Apophis and set it on the path to launch. In this episode of NEXUS, Parker Wishik speaks with CDC lead Dr. Robert Stevens, along with TERP RAPTOR's principal investigator Adrienne Rudolph and lead project manager Elena Wu, to discuss their visit to the CDC, swap constraints, budget realities, rapid redesigns, and the lessons learned along the way. 👉 Watch the full video on YouTube: piped.video/PX0-b4qhUz0?utm_sou…
