GMV's contribution to Hera

AIDA is an international NASA- and ESA-supported collaboration that will combine the data obtained from NASA’s DART mission (which includes ASI’s LICIACube) and ESA’s Hera mission to produce the most accurate knowledge possible from the first demonstration of an asteroid deflection technology. 
An international consortium composed by GMV, Spain, Romania, Portugal, and Poland together with our partners is designing what can be considered “the brain” that drives the HERA spacecraft.
As responsible of the mission analysis and GNC subsystem, we are developing and testing our vision based solution, which will allow the spacecraft autonomously navigate in the vicinity of the asteroids in safety conditions.
In the video you can watch how GMV has re-created a “real scenario “ of the HERA mission to test the GNC system with the maximum accuracy in its Platform Art laboratory.
