![]() The research described in this report is part of a larger effort focused on the communication and tracking subsystem that is designed to perform three major tasks: 1. NASA JSC has designed a layered control architecture that integrates all functions of Mini-AERCam. The path planning and control algorithms that direct the motions of Mini-AERCam have been developed through the joint effort of Carnegie Mellon University and the Texas Robotics and Automation Center. A Mini-AERCam ground control system has been studied at Texas A&M University. Many institutions and companies have been involved in the R&D for this project. Mini-AERCam consists of a great number of subsystems. The system will assist ISS crewmembers and ground personnel to monitor ongoing operations and perform visual inspections of exterior ISS components without requiring extravehicular activity (EAV). ![]() Mini-AERCam is designed to provide astronauts and ground control real-time video for camera views of ISS. Design and Performance Evaluation of a UWB Communication and Tracking System for Mini-AERCam NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) is developing a low-volume, low-mass, robotic free-flying camera known as Mini-AERCam (Autonomous Extra-vehicular Robotic Camera) to assist the International Space Station (ISS) operations.
