dc.description.abstractIn recent years, there has been a renewed interest in technology development for space-based optical and infrared interferometry. One such pathfinder is Pyxis, a set of three autonomous robotic platforms designed to operate in the carpark of Mt Stromlo Observatory, Canberra, where it will simulate formation-flying while performing optical interferometry. In this paper, we will provide an update on the interferometer, detailing the initial results of the control subsystems. We will also share our future plans to begin space qualification and adaptation of Pyxis into a set of nano-satellites.en
