The CubeSats operate under a self-organized control algorithm that can scale to accommodate any number of agents within the swarm. Additionally, this flexible algorithm adapts to various shapes and sizes of target objects.&nbsp;&nbsp;The capture of the target object showcases the potential applications of this technology in active debris removal, on-orbit servicing, and on-orbit assembly tasks. It highlights its versatility and importance in maintaining a sustainable space environment as well as showcases innovative developments in space technology<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research work of
