NASA Sends Google Gemma 3 Language Model to Orbit
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has successfully demonstrated Google's Gemma 3 vision-language model in orbit, analyzing satellite imagery in real time aboard Loft Orbital's YAM-9 satellite. The mission, called NAVI-Orbital, marks the first in-orbit use of a vision-language model and suggests a new paradigm for spacecraft interaction via natural language prompts.
