Heterogeneous Space Data Centers: A Key Paradigm for Future Non-Terrestrial and In-Orbit Services

The paper introduces heterogeneous space data centers (SDCs) that combine large and small nodes to deliver AI‑centric computing and communication services for ground, aerial, and in‑orbit users. It outlines use cases, node sizing, placement strategies, and interconnection topologies, and focuses on dawn‑dusk low‑Earth orbit configurations to analyze solar power, visibility windows, and latency‑aware coverage. The authors evaluate latency, service reliability, and energy requirements for various SDC roles and deployment scales, highlighting trade‑offs among node size, orbit selection, and service portfolio, and offer design guidance and future research directions for AI infrastructure in space.

Goal-Oriented Bundle Management and Flow Control for Deep-Space Communications via Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a reinforcement‑learning framework for managing bundles and flow control in deep‑space networks, where relay nodes must schedule and drop data under intermittent connectivity and limited storage. It defines a goal‑oriented loss based on excess age to prioritize mission‑relevant information and formulates relay control as a constrained semi‑Markov decision process solved with masked Lagrangian PPO. Simulations show that the approach improves age‑based utility and inter‑flow fairness compared to traditional schedulers.
