Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Overview of the Application of Neural Networks in Orbit OptimizationPratiksha Devshali Bhavsar, Deepti PalThe idea of neural networks has emerged in recent times and has shown great results in complex and nonlinear systems. Many aerospace engineering areas like autonomous systems, adaptive control, and flight dynamics modeling can be better handled with neural networks. Selecting an orbit that consumes the fewest resources and reduces expenditure can broadly be called orbit optimization. In this study, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 6 Feb 2025 · 4,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Satellite Custody of Moving Ground TargetsDavid SchusterMaintaining persistent custody of ground targets from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is a key challenge in space-based surveillance and reconnaissance. Traditional rule-based tasking strategies struggle with scalability as the number of assets and targets grows. In this paper, we present a centralized Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) to coordinate four LEO satellites tasked with tracking two … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2026 · 1,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrajectory Optimization for First Human Asteroid Exploration MissionAtiksha Sharma, Santosh KosambeAfter the successful completion of robotic expeditions on Mars, an ultimate goal was set for space fairing nations and agencies around the world to send astronauts to Mars by 2030. Unfortunately, a mission to Mars would last upwards for years meanwhile several asteroids fly close to the Earth. A manned trip to an asteroid would be a valuable stepping stone … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 8 Aug 2020 · 6,433 accessesView PDFCite
