Autonomous Exploration of Small Bodies Toward Greater Autonomy for Deep Space Missions

Autonomous Exploration of Small Bodies Toward Greater Autonomy for Deep Space Missions

Autonomy is becoming increasingly important for the robotic exploration of unpredictable environments. One such example is the approach, proximity operation, and surface exploration of small bodies. In this article, we present an overview of an estimation framework to approach and land on small bodi...
