Automated guidance and navigation systems are an integral part to successful space missions. Previous researchers created Python tools to receive and parse data from a JAVAD TR-G2 space-capable GPS receiver. I improved the tool by customizing the output for plotting and comparing several simulations. I analyzed position errors, data loss, and signal loss by comparing simulated receiver data from an IFEN GPS simulator to ‘truth data’ from a proposed trajectory. By adjusting the trajectory simulation’s gain, attitude, and start time, NASA can assess the best time to launch the SLS, where to position the antennas on the Block 1-B, and which filter to use. Some additional testing has begun with the Novatel SpaceQuestGPS receiver as well as a GNSS SDR receiver.
