Spacecraft intelligent orbital game technology: A review

In recent years, the availability of space orbital resources has been declining, and the increasing frequency of spacecraft close approach events has heightened the urgency for enhanced space security measures. This paper establishes a comprehensive framework for intelligent orbital game technology in space, encompassing four core technologies: threat perception of non-cooperative targets, intent recognition, situation assessment, and intelligent orbital game countermeasures. The concepts of multi-turn, multi-round and multi-match in space orbital games are defined, clarifying the core technological requirements for intelligent space orbital games and establishing a cohesive technological framework. Subsequently, the current status of research on these four core technologies is investigated. The challenges faced in the existing research are analyzed, and potential solutions for future studies are proposed. This paper aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the latest advancements in space intelligent orbital game technology, along with insights into the future directions and challenges in this field.
