AI-driven orbit determination uses normalizing flows for cislunar navigation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method for orbit determination in the cislunar environment by applying generative modeling to angles-only measurements. This approach formulates the problem as conditional density estimation, using a normalizing flow trained on perturbed observations. The trained model can then generate statistically consistent and physics-informed state hypotheses from new measurements, which are subsequently refined by classical algorithms for improved accuracy. AI

IMPACT This research advances generative modeling applications in astrodynamics, potentially improving the accuracy and efficiency of space navigation.
