---- ====== pNav2 Design Requirements ====== ==== Original pNav L1 Design Requirements ==== * The CubeSat navigation receiver should be as simple as possible. * It should integrate all necessary functions for navigation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). * It should be compatible with a 1U CubeSat platform, i.e., power consumption should be a fraction of the power budget of 1U satellite. The receiver should be small and light. * The applied signal and measurement processing algorithms should be simple and very robust. ==== + New Design Requirements ==== * Rapid cold start and satellite reacquisition * Continuous positioning of rotating, unstabilized 1U CubeSats * Easy integration into the satellite
