Abstract:This paper gives a description of the development at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) in the UK of a satellite platform for use in a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). Fig. 1. The SSTL GMP Satellite
“…12 This development is supported by the British National Space Centre, via the same Mosaic small satellite programme that supported the UK-DMC satellite which hosts the Cisco onboard router. GMP satellites are intended to support autonomous orbit determination and intersatellite ranging capabilities using GPS.…”

“…In 25 years SSTL has built a profitable business around a unique approach to space (Morring 2001). Liddle et al (2004) gave a description of the development at SSTL in the UK of a satellite platform for use in a Geostationary Earth Orbit. Commercial Space Technologies, Ltd (CST) (http://www.commercialspace.co.uk/) has undertaken several studies of the methods available for the launch of GEMINI-1, a 400 kg test satellite being built by SSTL in collaboration with Nigeria, for the British National Space Centre (BNSC), who have included it in their MOSAIC UK small-satellite programme.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
