Description
LMO is a Luxembourg based company involved in the development of vision-based navigation technologies for close proximity operations, with a focus in modern algorithms, their embedding in space-capable state-of-the-art electronics and their interaction with the spacecraft GNC system. Progress has been made through three main streams covering the development, implementation and validation in space: (1) a development programme (called DIOSSA) funded by Luximpulse and with technical supervision from ESA, focused on computer vision algorithms and deployment in electronics, (2) the participation in one of the consortia for the ESA PoC-1 project, and (3) a first in-flight demonstration in space, in a project called AUDACITY.
In this talk, the progress made in these 3 projects as well as the lessons learnt will be shared with the Clean Space community, highlighting the main challenges found, gaps identified, and the next steps. The vision on how these building blocks come together in a future Active Debris Removal mission will also be presented.
