Abstract
In the frame of the studies ESA is currently conducting on the
servicing of non-cooperative spacecraft in geostationary orbits, a
simulator is being set up to support the analysis and development
of safe techniques for Manoeuvring, during approach and
circumflight, an Inspection Vehicle (MIV tool), including on-board
and teleoperated control. The main aspects of the study include
the design of the automatic and teleoperated GNC, with allocation
of tasks to the space and ground segment and to the Human Operator
(HO), the Man Machine Interface (MMI), a sophisticated model of
the on-board CCD camera for medium and short range navigation and
the related Image Analysis. The simulator is highly modular and
portable: part of it can run either stand-alone on a personal
computer or workstation or integrated in different design
environments, such as EuroSim and Matrix-x.Keywords: GNC
(Guidance, Navigation and Control), IA (Image Analysis), MMI (Man
Machine Interface), RVD (Rendez-Vous and Docking).
