Satellite to Satellite Relative Navigation Using GPS Pseudoranges

Patrick W. Binning, Ivan Galysh

Abstract:	Researchers at NRL have written an orbit determi- nation package which is able to process GPS measure- ments in an effort to estimate an absolute and a rel- ative spacecraft state. This paper will focus solely on the relative navigation algorithms and the simulated attainable accuracies through the use of GPS simu- lation hardware. There will be three differential algo- rithms presented which represent possible methods for determining the relative state between two spacecraft. Two different separation distances will be presented.
