High-accuracy Vision-Based Attitude Estimation System for Air-Bearing Spacecraft Simulators
Fabio Ornati, Gianfranco Di Domenico, Paolo Panicucci +1
Air-bearing platforms for simulating the rotational dynamics of satellites require highly precise ground truth systems. Unfortunately, commercial motion capture systems used for th…
An Autonomous Vision-Based Algorithm for Interplanetary Navigation
Eleonora Andreis, Paolo Panicucci, Francesco Topputo
The surge of deep-space probes makes it unsustainable to navigate them with standard radiometric tracking. Self-driving interplanetary satellites represent a solution to this probl…
Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models
Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26
The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…
An Image Processing Pipeline for Autonomous Deep-Space Optical Navigation
Eleonora Andreis, Paolo Panicucci, Francesco Topputo
A new era of space exploration and exploitation is fast approaching. A multitude of spacecraft will flow in the future decades under the propulsive momentum of the new space econom…
Vision-Based Estimation of Small Body Rotational State during the Approach Phase
Paolo Panicucci, Jérémy Lebreton, Roland Brochard +2
The heterogeneity of the small body population complicates the prediction of small body properties before the spacecraft's arrival. In the context of autonomous small body explorat…
