Visual language models as operator agents in the space domain
AIAA SCITECH 2025 Forum, 1543, 2025
This paper explores the application of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as operator agents in the space domain, focusing on both software and hardware operational paradigms. Building on advances in Large Language Models (LL…
Large language models as autonomous spacecraft operators in kerbal space program
Advances in Space Research, 2025
Recent trends are emerging in the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as autonomous agents that take actions based on the content of the user text prompts. We intend to apply these concepts to the field of Control in spa…
