MDA Corporation
Deep Space Exploration Robotics (DSXR) Autonomy  Software Framework (ASF) — In  recent years, technology initiatives have helped develop concepts and  prototypes to increase spacecraft autonomy and reduce operator workload. MDA will advance these tools by testing an ASF supporting both execution and planning  functions, enabling autonomous control of future space hardware such as robotic  arms, rovers, scientific instruments, and satellites. The advanced software  will be particularly useful in regards to robotics and sensors required to establish  Lunar Orbital Platform -  Gateway between  the Earth and the Moon as well as rover missions on the lunar surface.
