The paper presents the research project of the author, focused on developing, implementing and testing a vision based relative navigation system for spacecraft. A temporal organization of the project is presented, with tasks assigned to each year of the PhD programme, while at the same time two main technical stages, “final” and “far” rendezvous are introduced together with their scientific objectives. Being an experimental work, the envisioned implementation of the system on COTS computing platforms is introduced as well as the experiments planned to gather real imagery to validate the algorithms. Finally, possible fields of application of the project are discussed.

Abstract
The paper presents the research project of the author, focused on developing, implementing and testing a vision based relative navigation system for spacecraft. A temporal organization of the project is presented, with tasks assigned to each year of the PhD programme, while at the same time two main technical stages, “final” and “far” rendezvous are introduced together with their scientific objectives. Being an experimental work, the envisioned implementation of the system on COTS computing platforms is introduced as well as the experiments planned to gather real imagery to validate the algorithms. Finally, possible fields of application of the project are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
