Multi-spacecraft Autonomous Positioning System (MAPS) is networked computer navigation software, Developed by Anzalone and researchers at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. MAPS was successfully tested on the International Space Station in 2018 using NASA's Space Communications and Navigation testbed.
As of February 20, 2010, three different NASA networks are used - the Deep Space Network (DSN), the Near Earth Network (NEN) and the Space Network/Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The DSN, as the name implies, tracks probes in deep space (more than 10,000 miles (16,000 km) from Earth), while NEN and TDRSS are used to ...
Before they go to the International Space Station, NASA astronauts head the other direction -- to the bottom of the ocean. They dive down to Aquarius the world's only undersea
The satellite will fly two radar antennas at either end of a 10 m (33 ft) mast, allowing it to measure the elevation of the surface across a 120 km (75 mi) wide swath. The new radar system is smaller than, but similar to, the one that flew on NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), which made high-resolution measurements of Earth's land ...
TOPEX/Poseidon was the first mission to demonstrate that the Global Positioning System could be used to determine a spacecraft's exact location and track it in orbit. Knowing the satellite's precise position to within 2 centimeters (less than 1 inch) in altitude was a key component in making accurate ocean height measurements possible.
Now that NASA is planning new missions to the Moon with project Artemis, it needs the most detailed maps of our satellite ever produced. To that end, scientists from NASA, the United States ...
