Video: Swarm Navigation in LUNA Facility
Various exploration scenarios were successfully tested for the first time in the new LUNA analogue facility in Cologne. To this end, the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation connected various participants, such as payload boxes, sensors and rovers, to a swarm navigation network in the LUNA hall. These pass information on to their neighbours. The exact positions of the participants are determined using this information. The decentralised radio system requires no infrastructure. This makes navigation and communication possible in unknown terrain, such as on the Moon or Mars.
