The purpose of this study is to determine the adequacy of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in providing relative navigation for automated rendezvous and proximity operations. The study was performed using the Proximity Operations Simulator (POS), Lockheed's high-fidelity, six-degree-of-freedom simulation of the Space Shuttle and Space Station. This simulation includes identical models of GPS receivers for each vehicle. The navigation software in each vehicle includes identical Kalman filters. Each vehicle estimates its own state, and the relative state is obtained by simply subtracting absolute states.
