Abstract
The paper describes the development of a miniature GPS receiver with integrated real-time navigation system for orbit determination of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Phoenix-XNS receiver is based on a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) single-frequency GPS receiver board that has been qualified for use in a moderate space environment. Its firmware is specifically designed for space applications and accounts for the high signal dynamics in the acquisition and tracking process. The supplementary eXtended Navigation System (XNS) employs an elaborate force model and a 24-state Kalman filter to provide a smooth and continuous reduced-dynamics navigation solution even in case of restricted GPS availability. Through the use of the GRAPHIC code-carrier combination, ionospheric path delays can be fully eliminated in the filter, which overcomes the main limitation of conventional single-frequency receivers. Tests conducted in a signal simulator test bed have demonstrated a filtered navigation solution accuracy of better than 1 m (3D rms).
