SPARTAN

The SPARTAN (Spacecraft Attitude Reorientation and Tasking with Reinforcement Learning) project, funded by JMU Seed Grant, aims to implement deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms for spacecraft attitude control. The project's main focus is handling pointing keep-out constraints during reorientation maneuvers in order to ensure sensitive onboard instruments (e.g., optical cameras) avoid pointing to bright celestial objects such as the Sun.
