In-Orbit Trajectory Generation for
Supervised Space Inspection

The second aim of my dissertation work focuses on supervised inspection planning -- trajectory generation that maximizes sensor information gain, minimizes fuel consumption, and supports a damage detection task performed by a human viewing the live sensor data. This work was submitted to RA-L on February 3, 2025.
