SpY: A Context-Based Approach to Spacecraft Component Detection
Trupti Mahendrakar, Ryan T. White, Madhur Tiwari
This paper focuses on autonomously characterizing components such as solar panels, body panels, antennas, and thrusters of an unknown resident space object (RSO) using camera feed…
SatSplatYOLO: 3D Gaussian Splatting-based Virtual Object Detection Ensembles for Satellite Feature Recognition
Van Minh Nguyen, Emma Sandidge, Trupti Mahendrakar +1
On-orbit servicing (OOS), inspection of spacecraft, and active debris removal (ADR). Such missions require precise rendezvous and proximity operations in the vicinity of non-cooper…
Characterizing Satellite Geometry via Accelerated 3D Gaussian Splatting
Van Minh Nguyen, Emma Sandidge, Trupti Mahendrakar +1
The accelerating deployment of spacecraft in orbit have generated interest in on-orbit servicing (OOS), inspection of spacecraft, and active debris removal (ADR). Such missions req…
SpaceYOLO: A Human-Inspired Model for Real-time, On-board Spacecraft Feature Detection
Trupti Mahendrakar, Ryan T. White, Markus Wilde +1
The rapid proliferation of non-cooperative spacecraft and space debris in orbit has precipitated a surging demand for on-orbit servicing and space debris removal at a scale that on…
Autonomous Rendezvous with Non-cooperative Target Objects with Swarm Chasers and Observers
Trupti Mahendrakar, Steven Holmberg, Andrew Ekblad +4
Space debris is on the rise due to the increasing demand for spacecraft for com-munication, navigation, and other applications. The Space Surveillance Network (SSN) tracks over 27,…
Performance Study of YOLOv5 and Faster R-CNN for Autonomous Navigation around Non-Cooperative Targets
Trupti Mahendrakar, Andrew Ekblad, Nathan Fischer +4
Autonomous navigation and path-planning around non-cooperative space objects is an enabling technology for on-orbit servicing and space debris removal systems. The navigation task…
