Abstract

Deploying a cluster of satellites could provide accurate tracking of a Mars rover, a redundant navigation system in a jammed GNNS environment, or a cost-effective system for autonomously locating distress signals. The SAMSON mission conducted by the Distributed Space Systems Laboratory is planed to demonstrate such capabilities by deploying a cluster of three Low Earth Orbit (LEO) nano-satellites. One of the mission goals is to accurately determine the position of a terrestrial source emitting electromagnetic pulses. This study is aimed at providing a theoretical basis for achieving optimal positioning performance based on sequential time difference of arrival measurements with a satellite cluster.
