Abstract
NASA’s Autonomous Landing and Hazard
Avoidance Technology (ALHAT) project is developing
technologies for safe landing anytime/anywhere on
planetary surfaces. Minimizing time, thus minimizing fuel
consumption, is critical during landing, so ALHAT displays
must convey information efficiently to operators. The
ALHAT Human System Interface (HSI) team developed
prototype displays, explored methods of providing situation
awareness, and modeled the cognitive task and information
requirement for landing site selection. Input from NASA
astronauts and mission controllers was solicited to refine
ALHAT display concepts in a series of evaluations. This
paper discusses the evolution of ALHAT displays and
future plans for ALHAT HSI.
