Terrain Relative Navigation Descent Imager (TRNDI) Testing

PI: Rick Loffi, Draper Laboratory Inc.

Overview
Maturation Objectives
Flight Experiment

The Vision Navigation System (VNS) project plans to perform flight demonstration of cross-cutting vision based navigation and hazard avoidance in support of precision planetary landing. The proposed effort will mature the VNS technology to TRL 6 through flight demonstrations on a suborbital reusable launch vehicle (sRLV).
