Goddard Enhanced Onboard Navigation System (GEONS) Mathematical Specifications

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has developed the capability to provide high-accuracy attitude, orbit, and time autonomously onboard NASA spacecraft. The GSFC Mission Engineering and Systems Analysis Division has implemented NASA-developed navigation algorithms for high-accuracy real-time onboard orbit determination in the Global Positioning System (GPS) Enhanced Orbit Determination (GEODE) flight software. The Goddard Enhanced Onboard Navigation System (GEONS) extends the capabilities of the GEODE flight software to include additional measurement types and additional navigation algorithms.
