| Abstract | The Aerospace Corporation was tasked by the Volpe National Transportation System Center to provide technical support to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (FAA/AST), by performing a study of space-based navigation systems for application to expendable launch vehicles (ELVs) and reusable launch vehicles (RLVs). The purpose of this study was to provide technical support to understand the implications of using space-based navigation methods, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), for global tracking, navigation and surveillance of future reusable and expendable launch vehicles, and the safety implications thereof. This study was focused on two areas: (1) a survey of the present and future state of GPS, including GPS III modernization, and (2) an examination of the impact of ionosphere effects along a launch trajectory. |
