FUTURE

2024–PRESENT

Navigation-filter and software integration

Project phase: C/D/E1.

Designed and integrated the navigation filter and image-processing interfaces for autonomous visual navigation on the ASI FUTURE payload. Planned, ran, and analysed open-loop camera and Jetson Orin NX hardware-in-the-loop tests in the RETINA and TinyV3RSE optical facilities.
