Optical navigation for the Galileo Gaspra encounter

Abstract

The optical navigation process as practiced during the Gaspra encounter is presented. The characteristics of image formation for a single-frame mosaic picture required the development of a new image processing algorithm to extract the optical measurements. A detailed formulation of this algorithm is presented along with the results of applying it to the pictures returned from the spacecraft.
