arXiv:2607. 02741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper develops an Optimality-Informed Neural Network (OINN) approach for the energy-optimal, free-final-time powered descent of a lunar lander from any initial position, velocity, and mass within a bounded operating envelope to a fixed landing site with zero terminal velocity.

This paper presents a distribution-agnostic robust trajectory-optimization framework based on chance-constrained reinforcement learning. The uncertainty is represented here through initial conditions and process noise, with the only requirement being that it can be sampled.
arXiv:2608. 09628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collision avoidance systems are commonly used to avoid fragmentation events occurring in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO).

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.

arXiv:2606. 17317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time trajectory generation for on-orbit robotic servicing is challenging due to the nonlinear coupling between spacecraft bus motion, manipulator dynamics, visibility cone, and trajectory-level safety constraints.

arXiv:2606. 00895v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents a fast, recursive neural solver for the J2-perturbed Lambert problem based on Tiny Recursive Models (TRM), termed the TRM-Perturbed Lambert (TRM-PL) model.
