Realization of Autonomous Image-Based Spacecraft Pointing Systems: Planetary Flyby Example
The paper summarizes efforts at JPL to develop an intelligent autonomous tracking and pointing system for space applications. A powerful 3D graphic software testbed has also been developed to simulate a likely scenario of autonomous tracking and pointing operations during a plan
Selection note: Curated because “Realization of Autonomous Image-Based Spacecraft Pointing Systems: Planetary Flyby Example” covers autonomous, spacecraft, pointing, autonomy; it materially informs GShips work on autonomous navigation.
Evidence boundary: NTRS provides metadata and an abstract, not reviewed full text; methods, results, and current applicability remain unverified. Inclusion is contextual, not automatic claim evidence.
