Autonomous Mars
EDL Simulation
Entry-Descent-Landing for Starship-class vehicles. Local AI decision-making during the 20-minute communication blackout. Hashed telemetry for mission verification.
Embodied Reasoning for Spacecraft Autonomy
MCP-Native Intelligence for the Dark Window
John Kruze
This paper presents an MCP-native architecture for spacecraft autonomy: local inference engines embedded in high-fidelity physics simulations, producing experientially grounded decision-making. Over seven days of continuous operation, this system generated 32,656 verified physics trajectories and 6,034 somatic deliberation events across Mars EDL, LEO rendezvous, and asteroid surface domains.
Under simulated conjunction blackout, the deliberative brain began inferring spacecraft position from internal sensors alone—thermal margins, power draw, reaction control feedback—when external telemetry disappeared. This emergent proprioceptive reasoning was not programmed; it emerged from physics selection pressure.
Mars Demands Autonomy
When Starship enters Mars atmosphere, Earth is 20 minutes away. During the "Seven Minutes of Terror," there's no Mission Control. The vehicle must think for itself. DeepRed simulates this reality.
Mars Solar Conjunction Data
NASA lost contact with MAVEN on December 6. Solar conjunction is blocking all Earth-Mars communication. We built the recovery simulations. The data is free.
Every byte is cryptographically signed. This is physics, not hallucination.

Starship HLS at Jezero Crater
Operation 'Blind Pilot'
Comparison between standard Visual-Only dead reckoning and SAR-Fusion guidance during a global dust storm (tau=6.0). The AI was blinded at 30km, relying entirely on 10Hz SAR fixes to nullify a 50m/s crosswind.
Real AI Reasoning During EDL Anomalies
Active decision trajectories from EDL simulations. Each manifest pairs physics telemetry with autonomous Qwen reasoning during the 20-minute communication blackout.
