We had the opportunity to present our research progress on AI to boost in-orbit servicing and space domain awareness at the SpaceWERX United States Space Force (USSF) University Consortium. Thank you Emily Bates for representing us and thank you Devrin Chullanandana for the invitation and for making our participation possible.
The attached poster summarizes four key research pillars we have been working on at the Center for AEroSpace Autonomy Research (CAESAR): 1) navigation and characterization; 2) control and trajectory optimization; 3) decision making through space foundation models; 4) digital and robotic twinning. The overarching theme is the judicious incorporation of AI models in the spacecraft autonomy stack and their rigorous validation across the domain gap. Overall, impressive results by the combined team of the Stanford Space Rendezvous (Simone D'Amico) and Autonomous Systems (Marco Pavone) Labs.
