What is Ada Used to Develop a Global Positioning System for Future Spacecraft about?
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been developing with ALGATEL-SEL (D), a GPS Receiver for Space applications. It will be used on-board the future ESA's low Earth Orbit Spacecraft, namely HERMES, the manned European space shuttle and the COLOMBUS Free-Flier Laboratory. The receiver is a 5-channel C/A code and carrier tracking, parallel receiver. A specially qualified version of this unit flied on the German ASTROPAS platform, onboard the shuttle STS-59 mission (1993).As a preparation for the use of GPS on future spacecraft, ESA contacted ALCATEL-SEL for the manufacturing of a GPS receiver Elegant breadboard Unit following funcdonal, performance and interface requirements applicable to the projects HERMES and COLUMBUS. This company was selected due to the experience that they already had on GPS civil receivers.
