Abstract :
This paper introduces the proof of concept of low-Earth-orbit satellite attitude determination using GNSS, mainly GPS satellite signals. Two methods are considered and compared in detail: carrier phase measurements and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR-RSS) method. A preliminary design to be used in testing the algorithms is explained, and results of simulations with RSS method are presented.
