The CubeSat Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking Software (CARDS) project has developed and tested standalone software that performs the mission manager functions for CubeSat proximity operations. Flexible and configurable mission manager software is needed to achieve a robust and reusable core proximity guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system. CARDS is intended for use on twin cooperative maneuverable small satellites, such as CubeSats. CARDS provides algorithms and executable software for conducting GNC automation, maneuver monitoring and planning, and contingency diagnosis and response, including trajectory abort if necessary. The software will be flown on a two-satellite proximity operations technology demonstration mission known as Prox-1 in 2016.
