TARGET RELATIVE NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE RESULTS FROM SINPLEX: A MINIATURIZEDNAVIGATION SYSTEM
2014
The goal of the SINPLEX project is to develop an innovative solution to significantly reduce the mass of the
navigation subsystem for exploration missions which include landing and/or rendezvous and capture phases. The
system mass is reduced by functionally integrating the navigation sensors, using micro- and nanotechnology to
miniaturize electronics and fusing the sensor data within a navigation filter to improve navigation performance. A
breadboard system was built and includes a navigation computer, IMU, laser altimeter/range finder, star tracker
and navigation camera. This system was tested at short distances with realistic trajectories in DLR’s TRON
testbench. This paper covers an overview of the hardware and testbench and presents performance results from the
hardware-in-the-loop tests.
