CubeSats is studied. The approach only relies on the programmable logic configuration and processing system software. No hardware modifications or additions to the payloads are necessary. Experimental evaluation of the initial implementation shows a standard deviation of time-of-flight-based ranging measurements in the order of 1 cm, which renders the concept of interest for distributed satellite system missions.","PeriodicalId":138023,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE Space Hardware and Radio Conference","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116752512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
