Satellite-to-satellite tracking with POPSAT and an ERS-class satellite. Mission and system assessment study. Volume 3: Development program
Abstract
The development program required for a satellite-to-satellite tracking (SST) mission is outlined. System elements are described in terms of needed hardware and software functions. Integration of the SST development program into the POPSAT development program and that of a typical LEO satellite is described. Verification aspects (from simulations up to final verification with the operational system) are covered.
