Watch recording of the The Solar Orbiter Rollout Show.

One major element of NASA’s return to the Moon is improved autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control systems. NASA EDGE takes a close look at NASA Langley Research Center’s development of Navigation Doppler Lidar (NDL) to provide accurate, surface-relative altitude and vector velocity data to make sure NASA can land spacecraft safely on the Moon and any surface.

During the session, participants looked at examples from NASA, industry, and cognitive science research to identify biases that can influence engineering decision making.
