This paper describes the development of a detailed model of the TALARIS hopper and demonstrates its performance. TALARIS (Terrestrial Artificial Lunar And Reduced gravIty Simulator) is a small prototype hopping vehicle currently being developed in collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Draper Laboratory. It will serve as an Earth-based testbed for guidance, navigation,...
The autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology (ALHAT) project is studying the lunar landing descent phase from lunar orbit to the surface. In this paper, we give an overview of the timing and DeltaV implications for key activities during the lunar landing approach phase. Timing and DeltaV performance are evaluated while varying the approach phase design and key hazard detection parameters...
The methods and experiences from the Apollo Program are fundamental building blocks for the development of lunar landing strategies for the constellation program. Each of the six lunar landing Apollo missions landed under near ideal lighting conditions. The astronauts visually performed terrain relative navigation while looking out of windows, and were greatly aided by external communication and well...
