Integrated GPS Antenna/Receiver for Attitude Determination (GSC-13907)

Abstract:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seeks a qualified company to commercialize a significant improvement in satellite control. Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has developed some of the hardware for this system and much of the necessary software. The new system will enable satellite manufacturers to determine satellite attitude (rotational positions) solely through information gathered from the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) System. Autonomous operation is made possible by breakthroughs in close-coupling of the antenna and receiver, and by the innovative software to handle non-planar antennas. Consequently, satellites may be outfitted with attitude determination systems, which will save weight without sacrificing accuracy.
