Description
GNC for In Orbit Assembly” (IOA-GNC) is an ESA TRP project by a consortium led by GMV and targeting the study of autonomous assembly of large structures in space, using a modular design approach, to obtain a final structure that could not be achieved by means of a single element. The main applied principles are: use of advanced control techniques to perform rendezvous/mating operations in systems growing in complexity and changing their physical properties throughout the assembly process; and the increase of mission safety in case of contingencies, and the use of autonomous planning techniques to correct mission level failures by making on-board decisions and generating new mission plans.
The presentation will focus on autonomy aspects, internally within the GNC system and externally through on-board replanning system/capabilities.
