Definition

  • Design & Heritage The IGOR design is based on the NASA/J PL Black Jack Spaceborne GPS Receiver. The Black Jack receiver is a revolutionary spaceflight Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver developed by NASA/J PL to fill future needs for orbit-based GPS science. The Blackjack receiver itself ¡s a design to replace the previous science grade space receivers. The Blackjack was designed from the start as an instrument for use on orbital platforms. Currently there are nine Black Jack devices operating on orbit with a 100%success rate. The IGOR design conti nues the evolution of the Black Jack and previous units and incorporates several improvements based on the experiences made with the BlackJackon previous NASA/JPL missions including CHAMP, SAC-C, Jason-1, and GRACE Information provided by http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/systems/IGOR_Flyer.pdf Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: RO Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: Earth Remote Sensing Instruments Instrument_Class: Passive Remote Sensing Instrument_Type: Positioning/Navigation Instrument_Subtype: GPS Short_Name: RO Long_Name: GPS Radio Occultation Receiver End_Group Group: Associated_Platforms Short_Name: COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 End_Group Online_Resource: http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/systems/IGOR_Flyer.pdf Creation_Date: 2010-08-03 Group: Instrument_Logistics Instrument_Owner: USA/NASA End_Group End_Group (en)
