This paper introduces a project overview of the ground testbed development of navigation system for lunar lander. On the very early stage of lunar exploration, it is difficult to realize the actual lander model to test navigation algorithm. Therefore, the six-wheel type mobile robot is designed for ground testbed in this study. Navigation sensors as flash Lidar, camera and IMU are selected and integrated with on-board computer. Using this platform, crater matching based terrain relative navigation algorithm and hazard detection algorithm are implemented. Suggested system in here might be used for pre-prototype to verify navigation system of lander.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
