Satellite mega-constellations are emerging as large-scale sensing, communication, and computation fabrics, yet their learning architectures remain largely inherited from terrestrial federated learning...
The paper introduces a heterogeneous federated learning approach using the FractalNet architecture tailored for satellite mega‑constellations. It formalizes contact‑window‑constrained, depth‑heterogeneous optimization and proposes a distributed path scheduler that assigns model depth based on satellite SWAP‑C constraints, predicted contacts, and training statistics. The framework includes periodic update pooling and a three‑tier agentic control plane, and is validated through a wildfire detection case study across LEO, MEO, and GEO/HEO shells, demonstrating improvements in convergence, communication efficiency, energy adaptation, and robustness.
