Imagine coding a self driving car going trans US. A simple way would be to code all the movements from the get go. But as soon as a small issue arises, it is game over. So you can either make sure there are no issues (expensive) or have something to correct the course when there is one. 2/2
And for orbital mechanics, yes we can do it. But when something goes wrong (thruster malfunction, error in pointing), it can be complex to recover in real time with traditional algorithms. Given the difficulties in sat comms, this meant a lot of effort was put on making sure things go right 1/2
There are many different applications. I worked on close proximity manoeuvres where we were using deep learning for pose estimation, you can do something similar for Lunar/Mars landing. You can also pre-process your data onboard to save on the data budget. And you can also do analytics in real time.
