Workshop on JAXA Astrodynamics and Flight Mechanics, 2009 (July 30-31, 2009. Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)), Sagamihara, Kanagawa Japan
It is necessary to use Ground Control Points (GCP) in real time in order to precisely guide the spacecraft to desired landing/sampling position. It is not possible to determine the navigation strategy before launch because the characteristics such as shape, size and distribution of GCPs are revealed when the spacecraft reaches the asteroid. This paper proposes a method to precisely and safely navigate the spacecraft to asteroid surface utilizing the asteroid information gathered by in-situ observation by onboard cameras.
