The present disclosure provides a method for controlling orbital trajectories of a plurality of spacecraft in a multi-spacecraft swarm. In one aspect, the method includes deploying a DRL agent including a plurality of trajectory control models to the multi-spacecraft swarm, the trajectory control models corresponding to swarm configurations of the multi-spacecraft swarm; determining a state vector of said plurality of spacecraft in the multi-spacecraft swarm; transmitting a collective command to the multi-spacecraft swarm, such that said plurality of spacecraft in the multi-spacecraft swarm are to be distributed in one of the swarm configurations; determining actions of said plurality of spacecraft based on the state vector and the collective command; and maneuvering the multi-spacecraft swarm in accordance with the actions.
