Progress and Enlightenment of Intelligent On-orbit Operation of International Space Station

Abstract

The mission of a space station that is known as the big platform of near-earth space is to enable long-term flight to explore space. As the ever-increasing number of on-orbit missions, it is a challenge to manage an effective on-orbit project. With the deep integration of artificial intelligence and space technology, the on-orbit operation of a space station has gradually developed to be intelligent. Therefore, the intelligent operation of spacecraft has become an inevitable trend. This paper focuses on the development of on-orbit intellectualization at the International Space Station (ISS) and the application of artificial intelligence technology in its health management, mission planning and scheduling, mission operation and human-computer interaction. It is hoped that the research will contribute to the intelligent on-orbit operation in China.
