Laser radar for spacecraft guidance applications
A flight qualified laser radar called LAMP (LAser MaPper) is under development at JPL. LAMP is a guidance and control sensor that can form 3 dimensional images of its field of regard. This paper describes the detailed design of the LAMP sensor.

Covering a sphere with retroreflectors
This paper discusses how retroreflectors can be placed on the orbiting sample canister with the objective of maximizing returned light from a scanning laser system. The retroreflectors are vital for acquisition of the sample canister during the terminal rendezvous phase of the capture.

Small Field-of-View Star Identification Using Bayesian Decision Theory
In this document, we describe a simple autonomous star identification algorithm which is effective using a narrow field of view (2 degrees), making the use of a science camera for star identification feasible.
