Description
The success of active debris removal and in-orbit servicing missions relies on key enabling technologies to overcome historical challenges. The most significant capability of non-cooperative rendezvous and docking has to become a turnkey solution, an add-on for small, agile platforms and not only available for massive, expensive satellites. Infinite Orbits is developing a multimodal RdV GNC subsystem which blends battle-tested techniques for guidance and control and novel solutions for vision-based navigation inspired by contemporary computer vision research for terrestrial applications. This unique blend results in an adaptive, cost-effective, low SWaP solution that can open the doors for future RdV and Docking missions.
