Photons × Force: Differentiable Radiation Pressure Modeling
SessionLight Transport
DescriptionWe present a system for optimizing spacecraft designs under radiation pressure, the force that photons exert on objects. It combines a fast Monte Carlo simulation, a neural proxy of it, and gradient-based optimization to find spacecraft geometry, or operational parameters that minimize travel time or maximize proximity to a target.
