Space Vehicle Swarm Exploration Missions: A Study of Key Enabling Technologies and Gaps [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Multi-agent robot teams and spacecraft swarms will play an important role in future space missions. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive taxonomy of proposed applications of systems in space, planetary-surface, and terrestrial domains. We identify the key enabling technologies that will enable such applications and identify the technology gaps that have to be overcome. We envisage that the broader community will strive to address these technology challenges to make multi-agent and swarm based space exploration missions a reality.
