Revolutionizing Mars Navigation: How 3D Aero Capture Enables a Global GPS Network

As humanity sets its sights on deeper and more complex missions to Mars, the need for robust and scalable navigation systems becomes paramount. Current vision-based techniques, while effective for localized operations, falter in degraded environments and lack the global reach required for extensive exploration. This presents a critical challenge that Daniel Gochenaur and his team at the Engineering Systems Lab are addressing with a groundbreaking approach: three-dimensional aero capture.
