SOLOMON

This project aims to develop a GOOSE^© GNSS receiver that ensures a robust and precive navigation during the first stage of a launcher: from lift-off to the orbit insertion. Dynamics, vibrations, the antenna pattern, and the launcher’s attitude will affect the synchronization of the GOOSE^© receiver with the incoming GNSS signals. Therefore, a robust tracking architecture is required to maintain a continuous synchronization and, in turn, a continuous position, velocity, and time (PVT) solution.

Additionally, this project evaluates the integration of an adaptive PPP engine in the GOOSE^© receiver to achieve centimeter level accuracy.

This activity is carried out under a programme of, and funded by, the European Space Agency. The view expressed here does not reflect the official opinion of the European Space Agency.
