0 checklist items

Describe how your RPO system will maintain stability and safety in the presence of significant communication delays, which are common in GEO missions. What on-board autonomy strategies will you implement to compensate for these delays? How will you model intermittent communication failures, and what fail-safes or contingency plans would your system automatically execute? Consider the implications for high-power satellite servicing and the need for reliable operations.

Adaptation plan

Keep the source stable, then change the prompt in a predictable order so the next run is easier to evaluate.

Keep stable

Preserve the rubric, target behavior, and pass-fail criteria as the baseline for evaluation.

Tune next

Adjust fixtures, mocks, and thresholds to the system under test instead of weakening the assertions.

Verify after

Make sure the prompt catches regressions instead of just mirroring the happy-path examples.

Autonomous GEO Satellite RPO & Refueling with Grok-2 and Haystack

This challenge focuses on designing and simulating an autonomous Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) system for a refueling spacecraft to dock with a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite. The increasing priority of GEO satellite refueling for national security and commercial markets, combined with the emergence of high-power satellites (like those by K2 Space), necessitates advanced autonomy and precision. Participants will develop a robust control system that can guide a service vehicle through complex maneuvers, avoiding collisions, optimizing fuel consumption, and compensating for potential communication delays during critical phases. The system must demonstrate high precision in terminal guidance, resilient decision-making under uncertainty, and efficient trajectory planning. Integration of Grok-2 (simulated via OpenAI API) with Haystack will be used to interpret mission parameters, generate dynamic control sequences based on sensor inputs, and provide intelligent anomaly detection during the RPO process. The challenge emphasizes physics-based simulation, optimal control theory, and real-time decision-making in a high-stakes space environment.
