Abstract

ESA is developing autonomous planetary guidance and lander systems for exploratory spacecraft. Ongoing research work at the University of Dundee is aiding this effort through the development of simulated planetary objects to facilitate the development and testing of autonomous navigation, guidance and landing systems. Realistic asteroids have been simulated in three dimensions using fractal techniques and crater models. An innovative use of Poisson Faulting has been developed to create irregularly shaped objects with a controllably rough surface. Simple craters are mapped onto the model to create a highly realistic, simulated asteroid.
