Stanford develops AI model for autonomous spacecraft docking to ISS

Stanford scientists created an AI world model that enables autonomous navigation during docking to the ISS — a maneuver requiring two objects traveling at 28,000 km/h to connect. The system is not based on rigid algorithms but learns orbital physics through simulation, allowing it to plan maneuvers in the vacuum of space. Creators describe it as a model "dreaming" of docking because it generates internal trajectory representations without direct ground control.
