SPACE INTEGRATED GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM/INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM (SIGI)
DTO 700-15

Prime: James Newman Principal Investigator: Pamela Lupo, Mark Mangieri, Scott Murray, Moises Montez, Joe Thibodeau, Ray Nuss, and Tony Pham
Backup: Sergei Krikalev


Overview
The Space Integrated Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (SIGI) is intended to replace the shuttle onboard TACAN and, eventually, the HAINS Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). The SIGI DTO will mitigate the technical and schedule risks of applying this new technology to the Shuttle navigation systems by evaluating the system’s performance in spaceflight. SIGI will be unstowed on FD02 and set up for entry on FD12. There will be a harddrive changeout performed on FD09. Data downlinks are scheduled after unstow, harddrive changeout, and entry setup.
