Spacecraft component miniaturization, the standardized CubeSat form factor, and a corresponding increase in launch ride-share availability have led to a renewed interest in smaller, more agile spacecraft missions. Naturally, interest in SmallSat capabilities extends outside of low Earth orbit for a variety of science and technology demonstration applications. As with larger missions, near-term deep-space SmallSats will more than likely rely on telecommunications and tracking via NASA's Deep Space Network or similar facilities. Given the predicted growth in the number of deep space missions, e ective use of telecommunication resources will be more critical than ever, even with Multiple Spacecraft Per Aperture capability. In particular, SmallSat missions will likely face stricter limitations on two-way contact with the tracking stations, thus making other options like one-way data types more attractive. While all missions must eventually develop their own detailed navigation plans, a common set of references is needed to support SmallSat missions, especially in the early development phases. Our investigation provides this initial survey of expected navigation performance for standard radiometric data types, from traditional two-way Doppler and ranging capabilities to one-way equivalents, including delta-di erential one-way range. In this investigation, we examine transport within the Earth-Moon region, the rst step outward from Earth into deep space exploration.
