Guidance, Navigation and Control for Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking of Nano-Satellites

Camille Sébastien Pirat

Is it possible to dock CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit? Challenges are associated with the level of miniaturisation: the docking accuracy is driven by the docking mechanism dimensions. The achievable docking performance with the Guidance, Navigation and Contro ...

Vision Based Navigation for Autonomous Cooperative Docking of CubeSats

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

A realistic rendezvous and docking navigation solution applicable to CubeSats is investigated. The scalability analysis of the ESA Autonomous Transfer Vehicle Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) performances and the Russian docking system, shows that the ...

Guidance, Navigation and Control for Autonomous Cooperative Docking of CubeSats

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

Is it possible to dock CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit? The challenges are mainly associated with the level of miniaturisation. A docking mechanism was designed, built and tested in the laboratory. Results show that a relative precision better than 1 cm and 2 ...

The Gaia mission

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original interferometric concept was changed to a direct-imaging approach. Both the ...

GNSS-Based Navigation for Lunar Missions

Vincenzo Capuano

Numerous applications, not only Earth-based, but also space-based, have strengthened the interest of the international scientific community in using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) as navigation systems for space missions that require good accu ...

Bayesian Rendezvous for Distributed Robotic Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Sven Adrian Gowal

In this paper, we state, using thorough mathe- matical analysis, sufficient conditions to perform a rendezvous maneuver with a group of differential-wheeled robots endowed with an on-board, noisy, local positioning system. In particular, we extend the exis ...
