Research of AI Planning for Space Flight Control Based on PDDL

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) theories and methods are required to enable more efficient space flight control center system. Applying AI planning theories, an AI planning method is proposed for space flight control based on planning domain definition language (PDDL) in this paper. Beginning from analyzing characteristics of space flight control planning problem in terms of AI planning theories, field model and problem model for space flight control planning are established. Then a solving architecture of space flight control planning problem based on PDDL is presented. Finally taking example from east-west station-keeping control, the feasibility of this method is proved.
