Abstract
Vision-based sensors have been a critical component in a variety of studies to support space applications such as autonomous guidance and landing systems, and orbital maneuvers, with simulated images been shown to be useful to test, calibrate and train these guidance systems. Advances in sensor technology has led to thermal sensors being considered for future autonomous guidance systems because they can provide additional or supplementary information to vision-based systems, leading to a need to provide realistic, simulated thermal images where real data is insufficient. This paper presents recent enhancements to the PANGU software tool to generate simulated thermal images of planets and asteroids from lunar surface thermal models and orbiting spacecraft using thermal balance equations.
