Intelligent autonomous navigation capability for space exploration includes
autonomous approaches to small bodies, rendezvous, landing and surface
operations such as surveying and sampling. These manoeuvres and scientific
experiments will be performed by robotic craft such as satellites. The proposed
area of research intends to investigate vision-based navigation on a satellite to
assess the prospective autonomy for space exploration.
