NASA Navigation Experiment Shows Promise for Planetary Landings

NASA successfully demonstrated technology designed to help spacecraft autonomously navigate to safe landing sites on the Moon and on other planets. An Alta-X drone equipped with the agency’s Safe and Precise Landing – Integrated Capabilities Evolution (SPLICE) guidance, navigation, and control payload completed simulated lunar descent and landing maneuvers Aug. 27. The flight took place […]

NASA用無人機搭載SPLICE自主導航載荷完成模擬月球著陸試驗，系統可測繪地形並在目標點不安全時改航至更安全位置。該技術已提升成熟度，計划今秋進入NASA軟件目錄並供商業著陸器使用。
