Benefits of Full-Reinforcement Operators for Spacecraft Target Landing
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 presented to clarify the details and usefulness of the proposed operators.

Using the inertia of spacecraft during landing to penetrate regoliths of the Solar System
The high inertia, i.e. high mass and low speed, of a landing spacecraft has the potential to drive a penetrometer into the subsurface without the need for a dedicated deployment mechanism, e.g., during Huygens landing on Titan. Such a method could complement focused subsurface exploration missions, particularly in the low gravity environments of comets and asteroids, as it is conducive to condu...
متن کاملAIAA 98-4574 Numerical Roll Reversal Predictor-Corrector Aerocapture and Precision Landing Guidance Algorithms for the Mars Surveyor Program 2001 Missions
This paper describes guidance algorithms that use numerical predictor-corrector techniques to guide the spacecraft to the proper objectives. The precision landing objective is to deploy a parachute within 10 km of the target, and the aerocapture objective is to use a single atmospheric pass instead of an orbit insertion burn, with the requirement of being within 0.1° of the desired inclination ...
متن کاملDetermination of Terminal Landing Footprint for On-Board Terrain Assessment and Intelligent Hazard Avoidance
In this paper we develop a methodology based on ballistics to estimate the landing footprint associated with the powered terminal descent phase of a Mars soft landing. The analysis is based on an idealized two-impulse thrust maneuver and leads to an analytical expression for the elliptical boundary of the landing footprint. Our goal was to develop a method (with low computational overhead) to e...
متن کاملDependence of the Beagle2 Trajectory on the Mars Atmosphere
Six days before arrival, the Mars Express spacecraft released the landing probe Beagle2. This paper extends a reconstruction of the lander’s drift trajectory from atmospheric entry to landing. Uncertainties of the initial drift trajectory and contributions by uncertainties in the atmospheric descent computation are mapped to the landing site. Parameters of key events during the descent are deri...
متن کاملVision-based Hazard Detection with Artificial Neural Networks for Autonomous Planetary Landing
In this paper a hazard detection and landing site selection algorithm, based on a single, visible light, camera acquisition, processed by Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), is presented. The system is sufficiently light to run onboard a spacecraft during the landing phase of a planetary exploration mission. Unsafe terrain items are detected and arranged in a hazard map, exploited to select the ...
