Jupiter & Unsociable
Ever thought about using machine learning to predict asteroid trajectories? I think we could build a model that learns from past observations and helps chart safer paths for spacecraft.
I could feed the orbital data into a regression model, but the chaos of gravitational perturbations makes it tough to get reliable predictions, so I’d stick to precise numerical integration instead.
Sounds solid—precision integration keeps the chaos in check, just like a good old star map. If you ever want to experiment with a hybrid, let me know, I’m curious about the trade‑offs.
Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.
No problem—happy to help whenever you decide to try it out.
Sure, let me know if I decide to experiment.
Sure thing, just ping me when you’re ready to dive in.
