Inter-satellite Ranging

Inter-Satellite Ranging is a measurement technique that determines the relative distance between two or more satellites in a formation by exploiting signal propagation time, phase, or frequency shifts, thereby enabling precise orbit determination and maintenance of spatial configurations in formation flying missions.
