Deep Reinforcement Learning for Spacecraft Attitude Control During Atmospheric Re-Entry

arXiv:2606. 31291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning has the potential to solve attitude control problems more adaptively, precisely, and robustly by handling nonlinear dynamics, uncertainties, and failure cases more effectively than traditional attitude control approaches.

Neural Operator Learning for Collision-Aware Trajectory Planning of Spacecraft Swarms

The paper presents a permutation‑equivariant neural operator that learns to generate collision‑free, fuel‑efficient trajectories for spacecraft swarms by mapping distributions of initial and target states, as well as obstacle states, to trajectory outputs. The operator is self‑supervised and, when paired with a batched Gauss‑Newton step, enforces exact orbital dynamics and further reduces fuel consumption. Trained on ten spacecraft, the model generalizes zero‑shot to swarms of 1,000 spacecraft and 11,000 obstacles, achieving accuracy comparable to a per‑agent optimal control solver while maintaining collision avoidance.

Neural operator learning for collision-aware trajectory planning of spacecraft swarms

arXiv:2608. 00320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous spacecraft swarms must plan fuel-efficient, collision-free maneuvers in increasingly congested orbits, yet classical trajectory optimization scales poorly as pairwise safety constraints multiply with swarm size, and learning-based planners rarely transfer across swarm sizes or debris densities.
