New Orbit-Planner model enhances satellite obstacle avoidance

Researchers have developed Orbit-Planner, a novel two-stage latent world model designed for satellite agents to navigate and avoid obstacles in orbit. This model learns action-conditioned spacecraft dynamics to predict future states in a latent space and uses a Physics Probe to translate these latent predictions back into physical states. Experiments show Orbit-Planner's effectiveness in long-horizon latent rollouts and its ability to achieve a 91.7% success rate in closed-loop obstacle-avoidance simulations within NVIDIA Isaac Sim. AI

IMPACT This model could improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous satellite operations in complex orbital environments.

    Orbit-Planner: Towards Latent World Models for On-Orbit Obstacle Avoidance of Satellite Agents

    arXiv:2608.16651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Satellite agents for on-orbit navigation tasks need to predict collision risks using limited onboard observations. However, conventional planners often rely on predefined maps and fixed environmental assumptions, limiting their ad…
