Relative Navigation in LEO by Carrier-Phase Differential GPS with Intersatellite Ranging Augmentation by Alfredo Renga, Michele Grassi, Urbano Tancredi

“…In this paper, an augmented CDGPS navigation filter is proposed for the formation of two satellites characterized by a short, varying baseline, relevant to next generation Synthetic Aperture Radar missions. Specifically, a cascade-combination of dynamic and kinematic filters which processes double-differenced code and carrier measurements on two frequencies, as well as local inter-satellite ranging measurements, is used to get centimeter-level baseline estimates. …”

Three Horizons for Future Geoscience by Iain Stewart, Maria Angela Capello, Hassina Mouri, Kombada Mhopjeni, Munira Raji

“…In response to this need, we introduce the “Three Horizons” concept for visualizing paradigm change in complex systems as a tool to explore how the future global geoscientific mission might be re-imagined. Using this conceptual framework, we consider three parallel pathways – “business as usual” (horizon 1), “entrepreneurial” (horizon 2) and “visionary” (horizon 3)—that offer alternative narrative trajectories for how geoscience and geoscientists might serve society’s grand challenges.…”
