Abstract

This article aims to present a vision and my own observations, as well as potential directions for the development of unmanned space vehicles (UAVs), including increased autonomy through artificial intelligence, the development of propulsion systems enabling faster travel, and the miniaturization of equipment. In the future, UAVs could play a key role in the search for extraterrestrial life, the exploration of deeper spaces, and the preparation of manned missions. Space drones could form the foundation of contemporary and future space exploration, opening up new cognitive and technological possibilities for humanity.
