Seeker is a NASA CubeSat intended to demonstrate ultra-low cost in-space inspection capability.

The spacecraft is design to be as automated as possible, requiring minimal input from the ground in order to complete its mock inspection mission.

[1] The Seeker vehicle contained a small 6 – Degree of Freedom, cold gas nitrogen based cubesat propulsion system.

[10] Seeker's Automated Flight Manager (AFM) is a FSW application that allows the vehicle to function highly independently of human input.

[1] The UT Austin Texas Spacecraft Laboratory developed an algorithm that processed images taken by the Seeker camera into bearing measurements by identifying the Cygnus with a convolutional neural network and then using a traditional computer vision approach to centroid it.
