DEPLOY tracks 86 makers (including Sierra Space, SpaceX, and Firefly Aerospace), 110 models, and 85 deployments on the record, most recently DROID at Cerro Moreno Air Base, Antofagasta, Chile. Autonomous spacecraft, lunar landers, rovers, and on-orbit servicing platforms.
Space autonomy on DEPLOY scopes to AI / autonomy as a primary feature, not as an inference layer on top of ground-driven teleoperation. The first wave includes commercial lunar landers (Intuitive Machines Nova-C, Firefly Blue Ghost, ispace HAKUTO-R, Astrobotic Peregrine), Mars surface autonomy (NASA Perseverance), free-flying orbital robots (Astrobee, GITAI S2 Arm), on-orbit servicing (Northrop Grumman Mission Extension Vehicle, Astroscale ELSA-d / ADRAS-J, Starfish Otter, ClearSpace), and autonomous-docking crew and cargo (SpaceX Dragon 2, Tianzhou, Shenzhou, Starliner). Mission outcomes verify primary-source: Blue Ghost success versus IM / HAKUTO-R / Peregrine failures; ELSA-d capture aborted; ADRAS-J inspection-only. Borderline cases (Curiosity, Zhurong, Yutu-2, CIMON, Int-Ball, Phi-Sat-1, Dream Chaser) held for editorial review; Pragyan + Canadarm2 + Cygnus + Archinaut excluded for failing the autonomy-primary test.
