On earth, a person is accustomed to piercing his bird, therefore, NASA took care of the orientation of the “selenauts” (from the Latin word Selena – Moon) on the ground in advance, for which a special Knack navigation backpack was developed. The result is this laser-modified cover from Aeva Inc. adapted to the lunar environment.
The current version of Knack weighs 18 kg and takes up the entire backpack, but by the time the Artemis lunar mission is launched in 2025, the developers promise to reduce its size to the size of soda cans. an action based on continuous autonomous scanning of the terrain by a modulated laser KNACK operates in the southern part of Australia, even in a wave, it measures millions of tons of Eve with s, n, n, n, And its bulky power supply and large computing power are not needed to work
The main task of the full ruak is tempered in the ormatic mapping of the local alks, where it would be worthy. This will help me get my bearings so I can see map details in the future. KNaCK can measure the distance between landmarks, memorize important points and plot a route. For its operation, communication with a central server, a volume control device is not important.
The network prototype has been successfully tested at different local multiplicity, the Wauan crater and p. Now, work is underway to adapt it to low dynamics and increased discussion according to belief.
