Abstract

AOS is designing a modular AR&D System named Hydra^® and building an initial prototype with selected (near-field and docking) capabilities and expansion capabilities to accommodate a time-of-flight and far-field sensor. Lessons learned from DART and Orbital Express have been applied to the proposed Hydra^® design. The prototype Hydra^® system design includes an AVGS sensor head and an ULTOR^® sensor head. Although the initial Hydra^® system is a ground demonstration unit, design methods and component selection provide a straightforward path for building a space-qualified Hydra^® system. The basic architectural component for Hydra^® is based on a common processing platform that can be configured to process inputs from a variety of sensors. The design consists of three elements: The sensor head or camera, which can be mounted external to the spacecraft; the processing electronics, which can be mounted internal to the spacecraft; and the Hydra^® target, which is mounted on the target spacecraft at or near the docking interface.
