Third Conference on AI in and for Space

The Third Conference on AI in and for Space 2026 explores the dual relationship between artificial intelligence and space exploration: AI as a tool that enables space missions and science, and space as a domain that drives unique AI research challenges. The conference has rapidly established itself as the defining venue for this exciting interdisciplinary intersection.

Topics include autonomous spacecraft operations, AI for satellite image analysis, machine learning for astronomical data, on-board inference under resource constraints, AI-assisted mission planning, space debris monitoring, and reinforcement learning for orbital dynamics. Space scientists, aerospace engineers, and AI researchers from both public agencies and commercial space companies are the core audience. The conference offers a rare opportunity for the AI and space communities to co-develop research agendas that will shape humanity's presence beyond Earth.
