Using a Multi-Agent System to Detect Space Debris

In this study, we propose the implementation of a multi-agent approach with division into roles in the satellite communication network. The satellites considered in this paper are vehicles equipped with space radar, which allows them to explore their surroundings for space debris. This paper also dis- cusses swarmed satellites, their interaction, how to create a group and how to migrate from one to another. A scalable system has the ability to handle an increasing amount of workload and/or users without a significant decrease in performance. The use of a multi-agent approach with role division in a satellite communication network can provide opportunities for scaling the system. By distributing the workload among the different agents and allowing them to work in a coordinated manner, the system can handle a larger number of satellites and increased data traffic.
