• $124,897 - Wednesday the 26th of December 2012
  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  IN ORDER TO ADDRESS NASA'S NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE RFP, TETRAVUE PROPOSES THE USE OF A UNIQUE, NON GPS AND NON-OBSERVER POSITION DEPENDENT 3D SENSOR SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE BOTH HIGH LATERAL AND DEPTH RESOLUTION DURING THE LANDING PHASE OF THE EDL. THE SYSTEM USES A NANOSECOND-CLASS LASER STROBE TO ILLUMINATE THE SCENE AND CAPTURE THE 3D DATA IN A SINGLE SHOT AND IS THUS INSENSITIVE TO MOTION OF THE OBSERVE OR THE SCENE. THE APPROACH CAN UTILIZE OFF-THE-SHELF FOCAL PLANE ARRAYS TO ACQUIRE HIGH RESOLUTION, 3D DATA FOR A RAPID AND ACCURATE CRAFT LANDING AND TOPOGRAPHICAL HAZARD ASSESSMENT. PHASE I WILL RESULT IN A LABORATORY DEMONSTRATION OF TETRAVUE'S TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS THE SPEED AND RANGE REQUIREMENT OF THE PROGRAM AND BRING THE TRL LEVEL FROM 3 TO 4. PHASE II WILL DEMONSTRATE A BREADBOARD PROTOTYPE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING DEMONSTRATION EXPERIMENTS WITH REALISTIC MISSION PARAMETERS AND BRING THE TRL LEVEL FROM 4 TO 5.
