Optical sensors-aided inertial navigation for pinpoint lunar landing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The autonomous navigation of safe landing spacecraft on lunar surface has been recognized as a key to the feasibility of the future lunar landing mission. Autonomous obstacle detection and avoidance technology is not included in the traditional lunar landing missions. The future lunar lander should have the capability of autonomous obstacle avoidance to explore the scientific but hazardous region. This paper proposes and analyzes the autonomous pinpoint navigation scheme based on optical sensors for soft landing spacecrafts on moon. The focus of this paper is autonomous obstacle detection and avoidance technology.
