Prisma Formation Flying Demonstrator: Overview and Conclusions from the Nominal Mission
2012
The PRISMA in-orbit testbed was launched on June 15, 2010 to demonstrate
strategies and technologies for formation flying and rendezvous. OHB Sweden
(OHB-SE) is the prime contractor for the project which is funded by the Swedish
National Space Board with additional support from the German Aerospace
Center (DLR), the French National Space Center (CNES), and the Technical
University of Denmark (DTU). In August 2011, PRISMA completed its nominal
mission and during the fall of 2011, several additional activities have been performed
under a mission extension program. The mission qualifies a series of
sensor and actuator systems including navigation using GPS, Vision Based and
RF technology as well as a propulsion system based on environmentally friendly
propellant technology. The mission also includes a series of GNC experiments
using this equipment in closed loop. Separate experiments are implemented by
OHB-SE, DLR, and CNES and the paper provides an overview and conclusions
from the nominal mission flight results from these experiments.
