Use of GPS for Tethered Satellite Position Determination

by Bjorn L. Johns, Univ of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA,
George W. Morgenthaler, Univ of Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space IV

Abstract:

This paper provides a description of the potential application of GPS to determine the position of a tethered satellite with respect to the Space Shuttle. Relative positioning is performed applying the position correction method to post-processed experiments, using only C/A code correlating receivers. Results from simulated experiments are included.
