Semantic Constraint Synthesis for Adaptive Trajectory Optimization via Large Language Models

arXiv:2606.04123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Trajectory optimization is a critical component for enabling safe and reliable autonomous operations in space exploration. As space missions increase in frequency, complexity, and scope, there is a growing need to rapidly formulate mathematically sound trajectory optimization problems that accurately reflect mission objectives and operational constraints. However, translating mission intent into tractable analytical formulations for trajectory optimization requires substantial domain expertise. This paper presents a framework that leverages lar
