Abstract
This article discusses the main attractions of using GPS receivers for spac e applications, as well as the specific features of spaceborne and terrestr ial and airborne receivers. The performances achievable for several types o f space mission are also highlighted with the results of engineering-model simulations performed with the Alcatel TOPSTAR 3000 GPS receiver.
