Abstract
In Phase 2 we will develop a fully integrated, autonomous free-flying robotic system based on a commercial SkyJib quadcopter, and demonstrate flying straight and level to a target location, acquisition of rock and regolith samples, and return to the point of origin.
The work plan for Phase 2 is as follows:
1. Completion of the Guidance, Navigation, Control, Vision, and Sample Acquisition subsystems.
2. Integration of all the payload elements at ERAU and system level check out
3. Demonstration of the entire system at NASA KSC
4. Field deployment at analog location
