The Astrobotic Technology spacecraft employs small thrusters at each of its four corners to control its attitude, or pose in space, so that the main engine points in the right direction for its major burns and the spacecraft touches down cleanly. The video shows a reduced-size platform that demonstrates sensor fusion between inertial and absolute sensing has been achieved. The video closes with a scene showing the attitude returns to zero despite imparted disturbances.

To allow safe indoor test runs, compressed air jets are substituted for the fueled motors that will be used on the lander.
