Certus Scientific responded to a NASA request for proposals entitled "Landing Sensor Advanced Component Technologies." The proposals were to address specific objectives of NASA's Autonomous Landing and Hazard Avoidance (ALHAT) Project.
The proposals were evaluated by a team of experts in accordance with the NASA Research Announcement guidelines and evaluation criteria. The evaluation factors were the relevance of the proposed work to NASA's objectives, its intrinsic merit, and its cost.
The Certus 3D Image Preprocessing and Enhancement proposal to develop a Hazard Digital Elevation Map using the Flash lidar sensor was selected for funding. Certus staff are working within a six-month timeframe to complete this project. NASA will then begin testing the application in explorer landing vehicles.
Certus has also submitted proposals and received two SBIR Phase 0 awards from the State of West Virginia. For more information about Certus Scientific go to www.certusscientific.com.
