Abstract The upcoming Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Servicing Mission 4 (SM4) includes a Relative Navigation Sensor (RNS) experiment which uses three cameras and an avionics package to record images, and estimate in real-time the relative position and attitude (aka “pose”) during the Shuttle capture and deployment of the telescope. RNS recently completed its third and final phase of testing at the Marshall Space Flight Center Flight Robotics Laboratory. This testing utilized flight spare cameras, engineering development unit avionics and flight pose algorithms to estimate the pose of a Hubble mockup mounted to the Flight Robotics Laboratory (FRL) Dynamic Overhead Target Simulator (DOTS). The mockup was moved through a variety of flight-like lighting conditions and trajectories. In this paper we present pose estimation results from the third phase of RNS FRL testing.
