Study a Real Landing Autopilot

land-o-matic is the capstone shape made concrete. It keeps guidance math separate from game I/O, tests the pure core on the host, then connects that core to live /sim telemetry and controls.

What it combines

Section titled “What it combines”
  • A read-only flight HUD and coherent telemetry sampler.
  • G-FOLD-style powered-descent planning.
  • UPFG-style steering and attitude targets.
  • Atmosphere and drag estimates from live environment data.
  • Explicit phase, frame, pause, warp, and stale-snapshot gates.
  • An abort path that can take control from every active state.

Run it

Section titled “Run it”
inside the guest
cd /mnt/gatOS/examples/land-o-matic
cargo run --release

For development, use a fixture or the HTTP field mirror:

Terminal window
cargo test
cargo run -- --root ./fixture
cargo run -- --url http://127.0.0.1:4242/v1

The important lesson is architectural: state -> command is ordinary deterministic code. Filesystem and HTTP adapters belong at the edge. That keeps orbital math testable when no kitten is available to crash the prototype.
