About this paper
Fabrizio Pilone, Giordana Bucchioni
The authors study simulated spacecraft inspection using orbital drift to reduce fuel use while imaging a passive target. They compare action choices, position representations, planning horizons, and safety controls. Extending PPO’s credit window to one orbit lowers mean episode delta V from about 10.5 to 6.05 m/s; a barrier filter yields zero violations in 2,000 evaluations, not a flight guarantee.
