LANDSAFE: LANDING SITE RISK ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK
The European Space Agency (ESA) is planning a Lunar Lander mission in the 2018 timeframe that will demonstrate precise soft landing at the polar regions of the Moon. To ensure a safe and successful landing a careful risk analysis has to be carried out. This is comprised of identifying favorable targ...
