Fermi Explorer Mission plans to launch a spacecraft toward Alpha Centauri by 2029, with AI used to plot the interstellar trajectory. The mission targets a star system 4.4 light-years away, with a journey that could span up to 80,000 years. AI-driven trajectory optimization plays a central role in making the mission feasible, showcasing applied ML in complex astrodynamics and long-horizon planning problems.
