An overview of the research on navigation sensors of HOPE (H-2 Orbiting Plane) required for landing and on-orbit phases is presented. Microwave Landing System (MLS) which is a system to measure required azimuth and elevation from the runway for landing and an element for combined navigation with inertial sensor and RF (Radio Frequency) altimeter, were trial produced and tested. Trial production and test of the research model Global Positioning System (GPS) which receives RF wave from 24 (scheduled) satellites deployed in space were completed. Preparatory operation tests were conducted with the functional model of the fixed star sensor to measure spacecraft attitude in reference to space.
