Space Drones Target In-Orbit Construction
This research focuses on autonomous spacecraft to not only identify and travel toward moving targets but also repair them, inspect them or assemble new objects entirely from scratch, using a vision-based navigation system that employs wireless communication for tracking and formation flight. The proposed algorithm also uses neural network-based machine learning to identify, track and estimate the positions and intent of other nearby flying agents.
