Control in Unmanned NASA MissionsThis viewgraph presentation reviews several general aspects of control for NASA space missions. Included in the review are the Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) for both Mars Exploration Rover (MER), and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL); and the control of the MER Rover. Also included is discussion about control issues in relation to formation flying, adaptive optics and precision wavefront control, sensors for environmental control- ENose. Essential developments in the areas of control are important for increase in Autonomy/Automation is essential for deep space manned missions. Other areas of concern are robustness and the need to address life support system control issues.
