Source-supplied abstract
The Optical Deep-Space Instrument for Navigation (ODIN) is a proposed multiple camera, multiple field of view, optical navigation (OPNAV) instrument currently under development. ODIN aims to create a self-sufficient system which can perform imaging target acquisition, star field based attitude estimation, and position estimation using horizon-based OPNAV of known celestial bodies. ODIN will complete these tasks autonomously, thereby contributing to the advancement of OPNAV as an option for truly autonomous mission operations.
