A physically powerful contender for the Google Lunar X
Prize, which offer $20 million to the first private collection that lands a
spacecraft on the moon, fruitfully travels additional than 500 meters, and transmit
flip side high-definition images and video, is affecting closer to its goal of a
moon landing. If every star align, Pittsburgh-based start up Astrobotic will
land its lunar motor vehicle on the moon in October 2015.
“That’s the closest we can get to the moon landing here on
earth,” said by Thornton, addition that one of the major challenges is doing an
self-directed landing on the surface of the moon. “We use a scene-matching
algorithm, which is fundamentally look at the images seen underneath the lander
and corresponding those up to on
board maps to recognize where we are in terms
of landing.
