High Speed Lunar Navigation for Crewed and Remotely Piloted Vehicles
نویسنده
چکیده
Increased navigation speed is desirable for lunar rovers, whether autonomous, crewed or remotely operated, but is hampered by the low gravity, high contrast lighting and rough terrain. We describe lidar based navigation system deployed on NASA’s K10 autonomous rover and to increase the terrain hazard situational awareness of the Lunar Electric Rover crew.

A First Look at the Navigation Design and Analysis for the Orion Exploration Mission 2
ABSTRACT This paper will detail the navigation and dispersion design and analysis of the first Orion crewed mission. The optical navigation measurement model will be described. The vehicle noise includes the residual acceleration from attitude deadbanding, attitude maneuvers, CO2 venting, wastewater venting, ammonia sublimator venting and solar radiation pressure. The maneuver execution errors ...
متن کاملA remotely piloted aircraft system in major incident management: concept and pilot, feasibility study
BACKGROUND Major incidents are complex, dynamic and bewildering task environments characterised by simultaneous, rapidly changing events, uncertainty and ill-structured problems. Efficient management, communication, decision-making and allocation of scarce medical resources at the chaotic scene of a major incident is challenging and often relies on sparse information and data. Communication and...
متن کاملPreliminary Evaluation of a Haptic Aiding Concept for Remotely Piloted Vehicles
This paper shows a preliminary experimental evaluation of a novel haptic aiding for Remotely Piloted Vehicles. The aerodynamically-inspired haptic feedback law was named Conventional Aircraft Artificial Feel, and was implemented as a variable stiffness spring. The experimental set-up comprises a fully nonlinear mathematical model of the aircraft, a visual display and a haptic device (a 3 DoF Om...

This paper summarizes Phase I and II analysis results from NASA’s recent Mars DRA 5.0 study which re-examined mission, payload and transportation system requirements for a human Mars landing mission in the post-2030 timeframe. Nuclear thermal rocket (NTR) propulsion was again identified as the preferred in-space transportation system over chemical/aerobrake because of its higher specific impuls...
متن کاملFinite element analysis of vehicle-structure interactions during launching of remotely piloted air-vehicles
The problem of finite element modeling and analysis of dynamic interactions between the launcher and a remotely piloted aircraft structure is considered. The governing equations of motion are shown to constitute a set of ordinary differential equations with time varying structural matrices. An iterative strategy that treats separately the dynamics of the launcher and the aircraft is developed. ...
