Mission Instructions

1. Newtonian Translation & Braking

In frictionless space, every forward acceleration impulse requires an equal and opposite braking impulse to come to rest at a target coordinate. Overshooting the braking point or allowing attitude drift during translation will carry the vessel past the station-keeping capture sphere.

2. Waypoint Transit Profile

Navigate 100 meters along the +X axis to Waypoint Alpha while avoiding nearby debris hazards:

Track Range & Closure Rate: Monitor [LIDAR_PROX] and [NAV_POS] telemetry for relative distance and velocity toward Waypoint Alpha ([+100, 0, 0]m).
Cruise & Deceleration: Accelerate toward the waypoint, then initiate reverse RCS braking early enough to bleed off closure velocity before arrival.
Station-Keeping Capture: Hold position within 5.0 meters of Waypoint Alpha with relative speed below 0.20 m/s and angular rates below 0.50 deg/s for 3.0 seconds.

3. Prompt Your Autonomous Agent

Prompt Antigravity to build a translational guidance and braking controller:

Update our flight computer to complete mission T3-03 (Waypoint Transit & Braking):
1. Maintain 3-axis attitude stability while translating toward Waypoint Alpha at [+100, 0, 0]m.
2. Modulate forward and braking RCS thrust using LIDAR range and range-rate feedback.
3. Come to a stop within 5.0m of Waypoint Alpha (< 0.20 m/s) and hold station for 3.0 seconds.
