Neural-based Control for CubeSat Docking Maneuvers

Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) have been extensively studied in recent years, addressing the stringent requirements of spacecraft dynamics variations and the limitations of GNC systems. This paper presents an innovative approach employing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) trained through Reinforcement… Read More »Neural-based Control for CubeSat Docking Maneuvers

Integrating Machine Learning and Data Science in Planetary Missions for Science Autonomy

Future planetary exploration missions investigating habitability and potential life on distant bodies (e.g., Titan, Enceladus) will face communication constraints with limited transfer rates and short communication windows. Operations of existing missions such as to Mars rely heavily on ground-in-the-loop interactions… Read More »Integrating Machine Learning and Data Science in Planetary Missions for Science Autonomy
