Self adaptive star-pattern recognition device for space navigation is proposed by Astropower, Inc, which could be first step toward development of Multi-Function Sensor (MFS) capable of automatically selecting safe lunar or planetary landing sites and guiding unmanned roving surface vehicles; system is based on tested "decision filter" which can identify 3-dimensional shapes; for star-pattern recognition problems, 200 majority logic units are sufficient; star-pattern recognition device is simplified by using Sun sensor to orient one axis of vehicle; other features.
