Validating No-Light Lunar Landing Technology (No-Light-TP)

Completed NASA Game Changing Development project led by Johnson Space Center to validate a precision lunar-navigation stack combining Psionic’s Space Navigation Doppler LiDAR with an inertial measurement unit and terrain-contour matching. The No-Light flight demonstration targets reliable guidance, navigation, and control for Artemis, CLPS, and other lunar and Mars landing missions, using high-altitude, high-speed trajectory data to advance technology readiness and reduce landing risk.
