Project Details
This project, funded by Intuitive Machines, develops and demonstrates algorithms for detecting and avoiding areas of large rocks and high slopes for a lunar lander. Preliminary work uses an optical camera and future work will include a lidar sensor. These algorithms will be tested in simulation, tested in laboratory experiments and demonstrated on a lunar lander flight mission.
