PRISMA (OHB-Sweden)
The Mission
Prisma is a technology mission primarily aiming at the demonstration of different sensor technologies and guidance navigation strategies for rendezvous and formation flying in space.
The project consists of two spacecraft, one advanced and highly maneuverable called Mango, and one called Tango. Mango is equipped with several sensor systems for formation flying and rendezvous purposes such as GPS, a vision based camera (VBS) and a radio frequency based navigation instrument (FFRF) together with advanced guidance, navigation and control algorithms. Several high level demonstrations have been performed successfully.
