A novel method of intersatellite ranging calibration is presented based on the observation of pulsars. According to the method intersatellite range projected in the direction of pulsar vectors can be directly determined by using the rotational invariance of the pulsar signals, which are observed by a queue of detectors on different spacecrafts in a distributed satellite system. Finally the method is evaluated using the realistic simulation of the pulsars and orbit information of distributes spacecraft. The result verifies the feasibility of in the application of the future distributed satellite system.
