About this award

This federal contract award is for the development of algorithms for image-based navigation of crewed spacecraft, which will be critical for future human spaceflight vehicles such as Orion and Artemis lunar exploration missions. The $635,320 cooperative agreement was awarded to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The objective is to reconsider the use of algebraic projective geometry to simplify and improve the complexity of vision-based spacecraft navigation methods, including terrain relative navigation (TRN) techniques like crater-based methods and visual odometry. The work is funded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, and is not associated with any set-aside designation. Georgia Tech Research Corporation has extensive experience providing advanced research and technical services to various government agencies, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Air Force Research Laboratory, and NASA.
