In an exciting new development for space exploration, NASA is set to launch a groundbreaking mission called Starling. The mission aims to test the capabilities of autonomous cooperation among CubeSats, small satellites that are becoming increasingly popular for scientific and commercial purposes. The unique aspect of this mission is that the CubeSats will operate independently in Earth’s orbit without real-time updates from mission control. This level of autonomy is crucial for future deep space missions where communication delays with Earth are inevitable. Starling is expected to last at least six months and will serve as a testbed for various technologies…
