Extended Abstract Intelligent Landing Hazard Assessment and Avoidance for Safe Spacecraft Landing
This paper presents a novel multi-sensor information fusion methodology for landing hazard assessment and avoidance. The focus of this research is to analyze hazard characteristics of a planetary surface using imagery data obtained in real-time during spacecraft orbit, descent, or landing. This information is used to enable a spacecraft to safely touchdown on a planetary surface during mission ...
متن کاملMulti-Sensor Terrain Estimation for Planetary Rovers
Future planetary exploration missions will require rovers to perform difficult tasks in rough terrain, with limited human supervision. Knowledge of terrain physical characteristics would allow a rover to adapt its control and planning strategies to maximize its effectiveness. This paper describes recent and current work at MIT in the area of terrain estimation and sensing. A method for on-line ...
متن کاملSafe Trajectories for Autonomous Rendezvous of Spacecraft
Autonomous spacecraft rendezvous is an enabling technology for many future space missions, but anomalies in recent flight experiments suggest that safety considerations will play a critical role in mission success. This paper presents a method for online generation of safe, fuel-optimized rendezvous trajectories that guarantee passive collision avoidance for a large class of anomalous system be...
متن کاملBenefits of Full-Reinforcement Operators for Spacecraft Target Landing
In this paper we discuss the benefits of using full reinforcement operators for site selection in spacecraft landing on planets. Specifically we discuss a modified Uninorm operator for evaluating sites and a Fimica operator to aggregate pixels for constructing regions that will act as sites to be selected at lower spacecraft altitude. An illustrative case study of spacecraft target landing is p...
متن کاملLandmarks Constellation Based Position Estimation for Spacecraft Pinpoint Landing
This paper presents a vision-based approach to estimate the absolute position of a planetary lander during the last stages of the descent. The approach relies on the matching of landmarks detected in the descent imagery with landmarks previously detected in orbiter images. The matching process must be robust with respect to scale and radiometry differences in the image data: it mainly relies on...
