FDIR-SPACE-UAV

This project is carried out in the framework of the INNPRONTA PERIGEO which is developing a research platform for new space technologies to be tested experimentally in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and subsequently transferred to future space programs. The project aims to develop an infrastructure to investigate technologies that may be promising for space programs and are now not used because they are considered very risky and there is no way to test in normal environments.

PERIGEO focuses its research on solving technological challenges of space missions in four scenarios: the observation of the Earth, the interplanetary flight in proximity to celestial bodies (asteroids, comets …), the atmospheric flight, and safe and accurate descent and landing for planetary exploration. One of the main research areas of the project is the fault-tolerant flight control systems for space applications, to ensure a high level of performance and reliability. GRVC AICIA works on developing systems for fault detection and reconfiguration in systems of multiple spacecrafts. Deimos Space leads the PERIGEO consortium, also involving several companies and research centers, among which is AICIA.
