Abstract

An interagency workshop in May 2021 on guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) verification and validation (V&V) methods and techniques identified needs for the formulation and public release of relevant V&V benchmark problems as a practical way forward for the discipline. A decision was made by the NASA Technical Fellow for GNC and the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) GNC Technical Discipline Team (TDT) to produce a benchmark problem focusing on the problem of space observatory precision pointing. This report contains the results of the NESC assessment.
