Abstract

As the space industry continues to grow, satellites are increasingly encountering non-cooperative environments. Such scenarios require edge-based autonomy to react to adversarial spacecraft in the complex 6 degree of freedom (DOF) environment. We present the MAGPIE (Multi Agent Generative Path planning for Intelligent Evasion), an autonomous system designed to be run on the edge specifically for satellites performing in non-cooperative 6DOF environments. In this paper, we describe the edge-based system architecture which entails a sensing suite, on-board computer, and custom software for planning and data fusion. We also discuss the constraints of satellite systems and how they are accounted for in the design of the architecture. In addition, we provide a framework for implementing the system on a quadcopter as a hardware test-bed, and present our results gathered from initial testing.
