NASA SPLICE Project: Development and Testing of Precision Landing GN&C Technologies

This presentation shows NASA's progress in developing precision landing and hazard avoidance technologies during the last few years through its ALHAT, COBALT and now SPLICE projects. The talk shows how these projects intend to use active optical sensors to map landing surfaces and identify hazards for future lander missions. The talk will be given at an Entry Descent and Landing session at a NASA Technical Interchange Meeting on active optical sensor systems.
