EROSS+

EROSS+ is a continuation of the EROSS (European Robotic Orbital Support Services) project. It boosts the maturity of the key building blocks of the European on-orbit servicing solution and increases their functionalities and performance in a coherent work programme targeting fast and practical deployment of the developed solutions in space. The project will also give … Continued

Observer

The main goal of the project was to develop and review a system for robust, unsupervised visual motion recognition of a non-cooperative satellite for on-orbit capturing. System has two main parts: video camera and embodied visual recognition and analysis software. Laboratory test in simulated LEO conditions has been take to verify system performance at Polish … Continued
