Objective

The proposed Lunar Relativistic Positioning System (LUREPOS) mission serves as a pioneering testbed for evaluating the efficiency of autonomous orbit determination using two small satellites. The primary objective is to validate autonomous systems capable of precise orbital determination without the need for clock synchronisation. Leveraging proper times and pseudoranges, the mission addresses critical lunar exploration challenges while establishing itself as a crucial testbed for advancing autonomous technologies with potential applications in Earth's and Mars' navigation and communication domains.
