Objectif This research project intends to prove that the integration/fusion of visual information with inertial measurements can providerobust surface relative navigation suitable for planetary lander missions to many different planets.The objectives will beachieve d through an international collaboration with the World's leading organisation on technology for planetary landers andspace exploration, JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) / NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and the UoD(University of Dundee ), Europe's leading organisation on simulation for testing planetary landers. During the Outgoing phase(2 years) JPL will provide the expertise and know-how required to the development of several Kalman filters both for planetaryand small Celestial bodies landings. During the return phase (1 year) the UoD will provide PANGU surface simulation utility forthe validation of the GNC sensor integration methods researched and developed at JPL.This project will contribute to the objectives of the European Research Area by promoting the integration of Europe's researchefforts and capacities leading to greater co-operation between Member States' research and a mutual opening up ofprogrammes. It addresses key technologies in one of the seven priority research areas de fined under the sixth frameworkprogramme, namely Aeronautics and Space. It promotes the fundamental principle "European added value", through thecombination of complementary national skills; it contributes to "federating excellence", and to "maximising hum an capital"through mobility. In addition, this project will also contribute to the vital alliance "science and society" by increasing theimportance, influence and attractiveness of European Science and technology at international level though an increasedp articipation in international scientific cooperation. Furthermore, it will address other community policies, namely the EuropeanSpace Policy outlined in the Eu# Champ scientifique natural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyspace explorationnatural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyplanetary sciencesasteroidsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyplanetary sciencesplanetsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyplanetary sciencescometsengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensors Programme(s) FP6-MOBILITY - Human resources and Mobility in the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration "Structuring the European Research Area" under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 Thème(s) MOBILITY-2.2 - Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships (OIF) Appel à propositions FP6-2002-MOBILITY-6 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement OIF - Marie Curie actions-Outgoing International Fellowships Coordinateur UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE Contribution de l’UE Aucune donnée Adresse Nethergate, Dundee DUNDEE Royaume-Uni Voir sur la carte Liens Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Participants (1) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA) JET PROPULSION LABORATORY (JPL) CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY États-Unis Contribution de l’UE Aucune donnée Adresse 4800 Oak Grove Drive Pasadena, California PASADENA Voir sur la carte Liens Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée
