pNav2 Design Requirements

====== pNav Design Requirements ======
* The CubeSat navigation receiver should be as simple as possible and integrate all necessary parts for navigation in the LEO Orbit
* It should be compatible with a 1U CubeSat platform, ie, power consumption should be a fraction of the power budget of 1U satellite. The receiver should be small and light.   
* The applied signal and measurement processing algorithms should be simple and very robust

+

Short Cold Start
Continuous positioning of a rotating (unstabilized) 1U CubeSat
