The Japanese H2 Orbiting Plane (HOPE) is an unmanned winged space vehicle which is planned to be launched in the end of 1990s. The Orbital Reentry Experiment (OREX) for acquiring engineering data for HOPE is presented. The experiment is planned to be carried out in early 1993. The vehicle is inserted into low Earth orbit by H2 rocket test flight. After about one revolution, it will deorbit and reenter the atmosphere. Global Positioning System Receiver (GPSR) is the key component for the navigation system of HOPE. A five-channel experimental GPSR model is installed in OREX as mission equipment, and the engineering data are obtained for the design of the HOPE's GPSR. The OREX mission, vehicle system, and guidance and control system are addressed. HOPE navigation system and the GPS experiment plans on OREX are presented.
