Orion Optical Navigation Image Processing Software (OpNAV)(MSC-26456-1)

The Orion emergency return system utilizing optical navigation has matured in design over the last several years, and is currently undergoing the final implementation and test phase in preparation for Exploration Mission 1 (EM-1) in 2019. A key component is this software, which processes the images and produces navigation measurements. The software development is being worked as a Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) project delivered as an application within the Core Flight Software of the Orion camera controller module.
