GPS Sensing for Formation Flying Spacecraft

Faculty Contact: Jonathan How

The formation flying applications of interest:

	Separated Spacecraft Interferometry Mission (Older 2D testbed at Stanford)
	Virtual Platform for Space Science in Low Earth Orbit. Also see (ORION) (An ongoing project at MIT)
	GPS - Formation Flying Blimps (Older research on a 3D testbed developed at Stanford)
	GPS - "Formation Flying" Trucks (A more recent 2D testbed at MIT)

Note: Much of our work is related to the Distributed Satellite Systems effort at NASA GSFC.
That was described in detail in a recent GPSWorld article by Leitner, Bauer, Carpenter, Moreau, and How
