Testing advanced navigation systems for planetary landers and rovers

The PANGU (Planet and Asteroid Natural Scene Generation Utility) is a software tool for simulating and visualising the surface of various planetary bodies. This tool was designed to support the development of active or passive computer vision systems on board planetary landers. PANGU can be used to generate an artificial surface representative of the Moon, Mercury, Mars or asteroids and to rapidly provide images of the simulated planetary body.
