Research and development of cost saving technologies is vital to the success of NASA’s strategic goal to extend human presence deeper into space and to the moon for sustainable long-term exploration and utilization. Reduction of mass has long been a method of reducing space mission costs. In this submission, Inertial Transfer, a new approach to mass transfer in space, is presented. A Multi-Agent System solution to the problem space is discussed. A scaled base-line simulator is constructed and demonstrated which will enable the development of AI capabilities necessary to perform Inertial Transfer. Finally, future work and key challenges are discussed.
