Novel test-bed for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) differential global positioning systems (dGPS). |
Description |
Technology demonstration mission that will provide a novel test-bed for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) differential global positioning systems (dGPS) that will enable future on-orbit assembly, docking, and formation-flying small satellite missions. While on-orbit, it will assess the capability of unmodified, multi-frequency COTS dGPS receivers. One receiver will operate as a base reference as well as assess absolute position accuracy from an on-orbit COTS receiver. |
