Open-Loop Tracking Command (OLTC) for CRISTAL

Project Description

The OLTC project is focused on the development and optimisation of the operational version of the onboard tracking system for the upcoming CRISTAL satellite

On-board trackers ensure the good acquisition of the backscattered radar signal in the instrument reception window. In the OLTC project, the consortium will build the open loop tracking algorithm that will operate for CRISTAL, and will develop strategies and methods in the OLTC definition over the land ice surface.
