Shield AI's Hivemind Successfully Demonstrates Autonomous Satellite Operations in Orbit
BrettKrieger12 · x · 2026-08-24
Shield AI, in partnership with Sedaro and NOVI Space, has successfully demonstrated autonomous satellite operations using its Hivemind AI pilot onboard a NOVI satellite in low Earth orbit. This marks Hivemind's first orbital flight and its highest-altitude, longest-duration deployment. Hivemind performed multi-objective optimization, balancing imaging tasking, spacecraft health, battery state of charge, and pointing across a constellation. The demo also proved Hivemind can operate on existing satellites not originally designed for autonomy.
