Demonstration of 6DOF Arc-mim/mm Control in the FCT Using Proba-3 Metrology and Control System
Project Introduction
Implement in FCT avionics and attitude control architecture and software that enables order of magnitude increase in control capability for next-generation formation flying technology demonstrations; Demonstrate full 6DOF control in the FCT for the first time; Demonstrate Proba-3 formation flying sensors and software that achieves 2 orders of magnitude higher performance than demonstrated capability.
More »Anticipated Benefits
This task innovates and demonstrates two key strengths directly applied to non-cooperative target, autonomous rendezvous and docking missions: NASA’s Guidance and Control capabilities and 6DOF full dynamic testbed with flight-like hardware and software.
