Orbit-Planner: Towards Latent World Models for On-Orbit Obstacle Avoidance of Satellite Agents
IEEE Asia-Pacific Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (AP-GARSS), 2026
Satellite agents for on-orbit navigation tasks need to predict collision risks using limited onboard observations. However, conventional planners often rely on predefined maps and fixed environmental assumptions, limiting their adaptability in dynamic on-orbit scenarios. In this paper, we propose Orbit-Planner, a two-stage latent world model for on-orbit obstacle avoidance. Orbit-Planner learns action-conditioned spacecraft dynamics to perform future-state rollouts in latent space, and introduces a Physics Probe to decode physical state changes from imagined latent trajectories. Experiments demonstrate that Orbit-Planner can perform long-horizon latent rollouts and recover physical states from imagined trajectories. In closed-loop obstacle-avoidance navigation in Isaac Sim, it attains a success rate of 91.7%.
