GPSP
type: Concept
in scheme: instruments
definition: The GPSP is a tracking system that receives dual-frequency navigation signals continuously and simultaneously from 16 GPS satellites to determine the exact position of a transmitter. The GPSP supports precise orbit determination by the Doris system. It also helps to improve gravity field models and provides data for satellite positioning accurate to about 50 meters and 50 nanoseconds. Additional information on the GPSP is available on the AVISO site. http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/en/missions/future-missions/jason-2/instruments/gpsp/index.html [Description Source: NASA JPL Ocean Surface Topography from Space Home Page] Group: Instrument_Details Entry_ID: GPSP Group: Instrument_Identification Instrument_Category: Earth Remote Sensing Instruments Instrument_Class: Passive Remote Sensing Instrument_Type: Positioning/Navigation Instrument_Subtype: GPS Short_Name: GPSP Long_Name: Global Positioning System Payload End_Group Group: Associated_Platforms Short_Name: OSTM/JASON-2 End_Group Online_Resource: http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ostm-sc-inst.html Online_Resource: http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/en/missions/current-missions/jason-2/instruments/gpsp/index.html Sample_Image: http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/spacecraft/images/OSTM-2006_12_19_gpsp-br.jpg Creation_Date: 2008-07-10 Group: Instrument_Logistics Instrument_Owner: USA/NASA End_Group End_Group
