Measure the time difference between detecting the signals and the angle of signal arrival to geolocate its source. |
Description |
The satellites will follow each other 15-25 kilometers apart in a polar low Earth orbit, enabling both spacecraft to detect the same signals from sources such as ships using radar to navigate. The satellites will then measure the time difference between detecting the signals and the angle of signal arrival to geolocate its source. |
