Reinforcement learning optimizes satellite constellation deployment

This paper proposes a reinforcement learning method to optimize the deployment of satellite constellations. The approach models the problem as a Markov Decision Process, accounting for factors like launch failures and satellite malfunctions. By using offline approximate value iteration with linear function approximation and action pruning, the method significantly reduces computational demands. Preliminary results indicate that this technique yields policies with lower expected costs and deployment times compared to a rolling-horizon baseline, demonstrating its effectiveness in space logistics.
