Aas 11-531 Guidance Algorithms for Asteroid Intercept Missions with Precision Targeting Requirements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rendezvous and intercept missions to smaller asteroids require precision guidance and control in the terminal mission phase. The zero-effort-miss (ZEM) and zero-effort-velocity (ZEV) information are used to formulate autonomous feedback guidance laws. A terminal-phase guidance strategy for a variety of intercept missions is developed. Different types of navigation information are assumed to be available from different spacecraft configurations and hardware choices. Guidance laws are developed for different mission configuration options. Guidance laws for both rendezvous and impact are studied. Optimal feedback guidance laws are also investigated for asteroid intercept/rendezvous missions. Simulations show the effectiveness of the various guidance laws.

The performance of the zero-effort-miss/zero-effort-velocity (ZEM/ZEV) feedback guidance algorithm is evaluated through practical space application examples. The ZEM/ZEV feedback guidance algorithm is in general not an optimal solution; however, it is an optimal solution in a uniform gravitational environment. It is also conceptually simple and easy to implement, and thus has great potential fo...

As space agencies are currently looking at Near Earth Asteroids as a next step on their exploration roadmap, high precision autonomous landing control schemes using passive sensors (i.e. cameras) will be required for upcoming missions. Attempting to address this need, the Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) system presented here is an online visual navigation scheme that relies on only one ca...

Autonomous navigation (AutoNav) for deep space missions is a unique capability that was developed at JPL and used successfully for every camera-equipped comet encounter flown by NASA (Borrelly, Wild 2, Tempel 1, and Hartley 2), as well as an asteroid flyby (Annefrank). AutoNav is the first on-board software to perform autonomous interplanetary navigation (image processing, trajectory determinat...
