Abstract

GPS based programs at NASA-JSC are enumerated on page 1: Several Detailed Test Objectives (DTOs) flown on STS missions featuring GPS are the primary focus of the DTO: GANE on STS-77, RGPS RME on STS-80, ARPK on STS-84 & STS-86, SIGI DTOs on STS-88, STS-101 (SOAR and STS-108 (CRV); Shuttle program switching to GPS receivers for navigation sensor; International Space Station baselined with GPS based navigation and attitude determination. Operational since 2002; Crew return vehicle features GPS based navigation; Mini Autonomous Extravehicular Robotic Camera (AERCam) relies on precise real-time relative GPS for relative navigation. Shuttle GPS testing is narrated in page 2
