About
StarLogic is an advanced and autonomous vision-based navigation system designed for all types of rendezvous missions. It integrates proprietary software that combines state-of-the-art computer vision models with cutting-edge guidance and navigation algorithms. This allows for an optimal and robust approach that is computationally efficient and can be run on-board. The system is equipped with dual onboard processors, redundant sensors, and dual-camera systems, specifically for mid-to-close proximity visual navigation, ensuring precise, autonomous guidance and docking. Nvidia-accelerated computer vision provides precise 3D pose estimation of moving targets, utilizing state-of-the-art models for embedded intelligence in space. StarLogic enables guidance and navigation from the beginning to the end of a mission without requiring ground intervention, ensuring seamless, self-sufficient operations from initial launch to final approach and docking. Its robust performance is maintained through multiple redundant sensors and a strategic split of functionality between its two cores, offering both flexibility and redundancy even in challenging conditions. Key space applications supported by StarLogic include in-orbit servicing for refueling and repairs, active debris removal for a more sustainable space environment, and precise formation flying for next-generation telescopes, radar systems, and communication networks. It is also crucial for In-space Servicing Assembly Manufacturing (ISAM) applications and contributes to solving the space sustainability challenge. The system supports highly precise formation flying for distributed telescopes, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), communications, and geolocation applications.
