USED SCIENCE HARDWARE:
- Receiver FM
located inside Soyuz TMA-6 is an integrated GNSS
receiver for space applications able to determine
position and time using GPS signals. Besides
providing real-time navigation data with conventional
accuracy, the receiver is able to measure pseudoranges
and integrated carrier phase
- Wide beam antenna FM
Installed externally on Soyuz TMA-6 is an airborne
antenna with a Dual-Band L1-L2, with Hemispherical
coverage pattern; the Gain is grater than - 4dBic
for elevation > 5° and Right Hand Circular
Polarisation.
- Cables (4 pcs.)
- PCMCIA card
USED SERVICE EQUIPMENT:
- IBM A31p ThinkPad laptop (with cables).

PURPOSE:
Measurement and verification of the GPS and EGNOS
signals in Low Earth Orbit.
OBJECTIVES:
- Verify the performances obtainable by a GPS/EGNOS
receiver
- Perform a PVT measurement using a combined
GPS/EGNOS receiver during the different phases
of the mission and compare the obtained results
with the equivalent data from the spacecraft
EXPERIMENT RESULTS:
Data recorded on PCMCIA card received automatically
during the orbital phase of Soyuz TMA-6 flight and
during a mated flight with the ISS RS.
