Descripción del proyecto
The “space revolution” is expected to become the biggest industry in history. During the last decades, space exploration has contributed to the development of various technologies (i.e., GPS, weather predictions, solar cells, reliable power grid, Earth observation services) that feedback into the economy and improve our lives. In 2020, the global space economy was valued at about $ 446.9 B. With the advent of deep-space CubeSats, nanosatellites that disrupted this industry, space agencies are planning to launch tens of CubeSat in deep space per single launch. The number of deep-space probes is bound to thrive, yet their growth is unsustainable with current practice. Human-in-the-loop operations are particularly relevant for flight-related procedures in cruise phase: the spacecraft position is determined from ground, with a consistent involvement of resources and assets. It is acknowledged that a sustainable deep-space exploration requires enabling self-driving spacecraft. The SENSE project forges an autonomous navigation sensor for the self-positioning of spacecraft in the solar system. The project stems from the ERC-funded project EXTREMA (ERC-CoG-2019). SENSE aims to elevate the celestial triangulation method conceived in EXTREMA to a proof-of-concept sensor at TRL 4. Our autonomous navigation sensor, nanoSENSE, is a disruptive innovation that will change the modus operandi for spacecraft navigation. SENSE will revolutionize the way spacecraft travel in space, by cutting the cost of ground control of the whole cruise phase and unlocking the new space mission concept. The project follows a suitably devised pathway to cover technical validation activities and assessment of exploitation opportunities. SENSE has raised the interest of leading sectoral players (see Letters of Interest).
