This research applies constrained diffusion models to augment orbital populations for satellite constellation tasking, addressing data scarcity in Monte Carlo simulations while adhering to physical astrodynamics constraints. The study finds that while these AI methods can generate diverse trajectories with high distributional fidelity, they currently cannot replace classical orbital dynamics or outperform traditional estimators on custody ranking tasks. Ultimately, the work highlights that AI serves as a valuable tool for local, in-support data augmentation rather than a substitute for fundamental physics in operational space analysis.
Constrained Diffusion for Data-Scarce Orbital Monte Carlo in Constellation Tasking
arXiv:2610.09323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Constellation Monte Carlo results depend on the orbital population used to evaluate a tasking policy. With scarce reference trajectories, replay limits geometric diversity, while independent orbital-element jitter can violate physical constraints. We study constrained diffusion for orbital-population augmentation. A force-conditioned diffusion model learns a 13-dimensional orbital prior, recovering semimajor axis from perigee altitude and eccentricity; Basilisk propagates each sample under one of five force-model tiers. Using 800 reference trajectories, we compare diffusion with jittered bootstrap, per-tier Gaussian mixtures, and a conditional variational autoencoder, and evaluate distributional fidelity, support shift, classical astrodynamics diagnostics, and 4,000 paired GoDSAT-compatible campaigns. The largest diffusion model achieves held-out trajectory MMD of 0.0171 +/- 0.0239, similar to bootstrap (0.0170) and the mixture (0.0198), but samples farther from training priors (median nearest-training distance 2.7 versus 0.10 standardized units). All generators fail to match the shifted-blind population (classifier AUC 0.991-0.998). Endpoint-conditioned samples satisfy Lambert boundaries but have greater interior error than the matched Lambert reference (29.2 versus 5.7 km mean RMSE). Residual diffusion improves selected sparse forecasts and catalog-mode recall but does not outperform classical estimators on custody ranking. In a fixed 16-satellite configuration, diffusion yields similar mean custody to replay and bootstrap, while the force-tier mixture shifts custody by about 5.5 percentage points. Constrained diffusion supports local, in-support augmentation but cannot replace orbital dynamics or serve as an operational posterior. Orbital-population construction is a consequential source of uncertainty in constellation analysis.
