This is the latest available version of "A Brief Guide to Astrobee's Flight Software," a guide to modifying Astrobee's Flight Software source code to incorporate GNC and autonomy modifications. The Astrobee Flight Software (AFS) is written by NASA Ames and is available here; this document was originally produced by members of the MIT Space Systems Lab and the Ventura group at Instituto Superior Técnico to complement the AFS documentation.
