The purpose of this DTO is to evaluate the performance and operation of the Global Positioning System as a shuttle navigation aid during the ascent, on-orbit, entry and landing phases of the mission. A modified military GPS receiver processor and the orbiter's existing GPS antenna will be used for this evaluation.
