Simulation of Navigation Receiver for Ultra-Small Satellite by A. A. Spiridonov, D. V. Ushakov, V. A. Saechnikov

“…Radio visibility intervals for GPS and GLONASS satellites were calculated and optimal conditions for the cold start of the navigation receiver with a relative speed limit (Vr &lt; 500 m/s) for 1 hour of operation both in separate and in joint operation on both systems were determined.To test the verification methods of the experimental data of the СubeBel-1 satellite, the operation of the navigation receiver of the Nsight satellite was studied according to the received telemetry from the beginning of its flight until the moment it entered stable operation.It is shown that the telemetry data of the navigation receiver at the testing stage had a significant error. …”
