Simultaneous Celestial Navigation

Bender, Daniel A.; Stefanick, Matthew T.; Turner, David R.; Broome, Anna; Rodriguez, Jose L.

GPS technology is used in a multitude of applications around the world for navigation. However, GPS can be contested or denied and thus alternatives to GPS are needed for positioning in high-consequence systems. This project investigates a non-RF based method to produce an estimated geolocation using stellar/celestial measurements in combination with measurements from inclinometers and a real time clock.
