This paper provides a brief overview of the entire OASIS system and how it analyzes one type of data - grayscale images taken by the rover for engineering and hazard avoidance purposes.

The automation of interplanetary spacecraft is becoming increasingly desirable to meet various mission requirements. A prototype of an autonomous spacecraft which will fly by an asteroid and comet is slated for flight in ...

Navigation of spacecraft for interplanetary missions is typically performed on the ground using a two-way radio link to obtain the necessary tracking data. Due to the limited number of antenna capable of tracking these ...

The paper presents a solution to the optimal formation path-planning problem where the formation reconfigurations are required subject to collision avoidance and resource limitation contraints.

Aging aircraft structures and composite materials are requiring rapid inspection of large areas. Removal from the aircraft for NDE at an inspection facility is not economical as compared to field inspection. Detection and ...
