The RPO Kit is a COTS plug-and-play spacecraft payload designed to autonomously perform complex navigation maneuvers, leveraging advanced vision-based target identification and tracking.
The system is tailored to enable any rendezvous, proximity operations and docking (RPOD) missions, including visual inspection, in-orbit servicing, space domain awareness and more.
The video below shows an excerpt of the VBN test in a space robotics laboratory for a typical target/chaser scenario in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) where you can see the performance of our target identification, tracking and pose estimation algorithms in real-time in the “VBN Camera feed” window. The target is a 6U cubesat mockup with limited distinguishing surface features to complicate target detection and tracking even further.
