Research abstract
SpaceWorks proposes the development of a real-time, navigation system to enable optimal site selections for landing Rocket Cargo Vehicles and deployed payloads on unimproved, irregular surfaces. This system will have broad applicability for use on a variety of platforms and is designed to be easily integrated with launch provider systems. Furthermore, as part of this effort, SpaceWorks will conduct an evaluation of additional novel approaches that could be used in concert with the proposed system to further improve the overall mission success rate.
