Sensitivity Testing of Stereophotoclinometry for the OSIRIS-REx Mission. I. The Accuracy and Errors of Digital Terrain Modeling

Stereophotoclinometry (SPC) was the prime method of shape modeling for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu. Here we describe the extensive testing conducted before launch to certify SPC as NASA Class B flight software, which not only validated SPC for operational use but also quantified the...
