Researchers have developed a novel decentralized fault repair policy for modular spacecraft, inspired by biological wound healing. This approach uses local distress signals to guide surviving modules toward damaged regions, enabling autonomous repair without global information or absolute positioning. Simulations show that the policy effectively consolidates surviving modules into a connected component, even under severe damage conditions, making it suitable for large-scale modular spacecraft. AI
