Abstract
When landing on a planetary body, the knowledge of the Lander velocity relative to the surface is required in order to ensure a safe touchdown. A conventional Doppler radar can provide this measurement. However, it has been shown in previous studies that Lidar mappers, with their ability to view the landing area in three dimensions, are ideal sensors for hazard-avoidance landing. In order to minimize the power, mass and volume of on-board sensors, this paper proposes to use the Lidar data to estimate the Lander relative velocity. An innovative Lidar-based Pseudo-Doppler velocity determination algorithm is presented with the purpose of determining velocity in conditions of high relative velocity, condition in which techniques based on feature matching may fail because of the distortions created by the Lander motion. The techniques proposed here could estimate the velocity during and at the end of the parachute phase when landing on Mars. The algorithm is described and validated by simulation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
