Spaceborne Differential GPS Applications
Abstract
This final technical report summarizes the research performed by the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR) for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) on Spaceborne Differential GPS Applications over the period Ol September 1997 through 31 August 1999. The primary focus of our work was on relative state estimation using GPS data from two vehicles. Data from a spaceborne experiment conducted by NASA was used for algorithm development and performance analysis. An auxiliary area of research was the identification and reduction of multipath errors in GPS observations. This effort is key to full utilization of GPS for high precision applications such as attitude determination, differential GPS, and relative navigation. The report comprises three documents descrIbing the research. The first two are conference papers presented at ION GPS 99 describing the relative navigation and multipath research. The third is a doctoral dissertation research proposal written by Dolan Highsmith, summarizing his research on this project and plans for future work.
