ARGOS Lab
Projects
Research projects developed and maintained by ARGOS Lab, spanning guidance, robust control, and optimization for spaceflight.
STARGATE
Landing on other worlds is easy to imagine and brutally hard to engineer. STARGATE is ARGOS Lab's flagship effort to make autonomous, fuel-optimal, robust guidance the default for the next generation of landers and reusable launch vehicles.
