In this paper, we describe the rover control method which our SuperNOVA team won in the Tanegashima rocket contest and won the distance of 0 m to the goal. In the past CanSat contest, our rover has approached the goal to about 5.81 m, due to the running control to the goal by GPS. However, according to the log file, in the GPS positioning information, our rover approached 0.4 m distance to the goal. This is due to GPS positioning accuracy. Therefore, with the running control using only GPS, it is not possible to reliably control the running of the rover to the goal to a distance of 0 m. Therefore, we propose a method to reliably guide the goal to the distance of 0 m by goal cone recognition by camera image and actually won the competition by achieving guidance up to 0 m in the Tanegashima rocket contest 2018.
