Technical Dossier Overview
MISSION ARCHITECTUREProject Kalinga represents a paradigm shift in planetary exploration, moving from traditional remote-controlled systems to high-level cognitive autonomy. By fusing the low-level reflexive stability of ArduPilot with the high-level reasoning of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, we have engineered a resilient swarm-capable ecosystem.
AI-DRIVEN LOCALIZATIONOur proprietary "Small Square" coordinate logic replaces the reliability of GPS with real-time Voxel Mapping. The system abstracts the Martian regolith as a recognizable geometric fingerprint, ensuring centimeter-level precision even in visually monotonous environments.
ENERGY SUSTAINABILITYTo ensure "human-free" operations, the mission utilizes Resonant Electromagnetic Induction for power transfer. Our high-Q factor resonators enable efficient energy exchange across a 10cm air gap, fortified by Tantalum shielding to survive the intense EM background of the Mars surface.
HARDENING & REDUNDANCYThe entire flight stack is environmentally hardened, featuring Aerogel thermal jackets and a triple-layer communication architecture (LoRa, ESP-NOW, WiFi 6). This multi-tiered failsafe matrix guarantees data sovereignty and mission continuity in the face of solar flares or atmospheric anomalies.
