Testing rendezvous and formation flying in space

The Prisma mission aimed to demonstrate different sensor technologies and guidance navigation strategies for rendezvous and formation flying in space. The project consisted of two spacecraft, one highly maneuverable called Mango, and one called Tango.

Mango was equipped with several sensor systems, including GPS, a vision-based camera and a radio frequency-based navigation instrument, along with advanced guidance, navigation and control algorithms.
