SINGLE STRING GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
DTO 700-14

Prime: James Newman Principal Investigator: Ray Nuss, Wayne Hensley, Michael Sarafin
Backup: Sergei Krikalev


Overview
The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the performance and operations of the GPS during Orbiter ascent, on-orbit operations, entry, and landing phases utilizing a modified military GPS receiver processor and the existing Orbiter GPS antennas. The DTO will be unstowed on FD02 and setup for entry on FD12. There will be a harddrive changeout performed on FD06. Three other on-orbit activities will be performed during the post-undock timeframe. One of these activities will perform a test in Ops 2. The second test activity requires transitioning to Ops 3. The third activity, the PVA Mode analysis, will require powering off the MDM for 90 minutes
