Positioning, Orientation and Timing for Assets in Space using Global Navigation Satellite Systems-Like Signals

Tender description

The Satellite Applications Catapult is seeking a suitable provider to perform simulated analysis of a GNSS-like system for the position determination of assets in space, as well as timing, phase and frequency transfer. Comparison to existing GNSS constellations (GPS, Galileo, etc.) is to be carried out. Analysis will also be carried out on the effects of the use of different frequencies, as well as transmitter power and separation. Simulation files created by the provider will be delivered to the Satellite Applications Catapult alongside documentation detailing the results, and instructions allowing the work to be carried forward.
