Glass Box at Orbit: A Constitutional AI Verification Framework for Trustworthy Autonomous CubeSat Intelligence
arXiv:2606.02967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The space industry is quietly building toward something nobody has fully reckoned with: orbital data centers running thousands of autonomous AI workloads with no human in the loop, 550 km above the Earth. Microsoft, AWS, and a growing list of orbital computing ventures are moving cloud-scale processing off the ground and into orbit. What none of them have answered yet is the governance question -- when autonomous AI systems at orbital data...
For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier
For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor MIT engineers are testing a new propulsion system that combines the power and speed of conventional chemical thrusters with the precision and fuel-efficiency of electrical thrusters. The system could enable the design of nimbler, more flexible small satellites, which could perform both fast, powerful maneuvers and slower, precise adjustments,...
MIT’s new spacecraft engine could send tiny satellites to Mars
MIT’s new spacecraft engine could send tiny satellites to Mars MIT’s new “best of both worlds” rocket system could give tiny satellites the power to sprint, cruise, and explore deep space using a single fuel tank. - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Summary: - MIT researchers have shown that one fuel can power both chemical and electric spacecraft thrusters, potentially transforming what small satellites can do.
Thruster breakthrough? New 2-in-1 propulsion system is about to get an in-space test
Thruster breakthrough? New 2-in-1 propulsion system is about to get an in-space test "If you can have chemical and electrical propulsion in one small package, it's the best of both worlds." It's hard to fit everything on a small satellite, especially the fuel, but a new propulsion system could make it easier.
