CRITICAL ADVANCES AND FUTURE MISSION APPLICATIONS IN RELATIVE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The Sensor Test for Orion RelNav Risk Mitigation (STORRM) relative navigation sensor suite has beendeveloped to provide risk reduction and technology advancement for relative navigation applications.Relative Navigation applications, including Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD), aswell as planetary landing, surface mobility and in space servicing, have been identified as a critical elementof many of NASA's future missions, and the STORRM sensor suite has been developed to provide ahighly reliable, compact, lightweight solution for human and robotic mission applications. This paperprovides progress and performance results associated with relative navigation via STORRM, as well asother RelNav development objectives and future mission applications.
