Abstract

Sharjah-Sat-2 is a 6U Earth Observation (EO) CubeSat currently being developed by the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) and the University of Sharjah (UoS). The 6U CubeSat is currently being designed and integrated with two payloads on board: (1) a High-Resolution Hyperspectral Imager with less than 5 Meters of Ground Sampling distance (GSD) and (2) an experimental payload consisting of a GNSS receiver. The mission's primary scientific objective is to capture High-Resolution Hyperspectral images of the United Arab Emirates to provide a constant stream of reliable data that can be utilized to improve the country's infrastructure and resource management. The secondary mission objective is to monitor and validate the integrity of GNSS signals received by CubeSat and compare them to calibrated ground based GNSS receivers. This paper will provide insight into the GNSS Payload onboard Sharjah-Sat-2 and how its data could be utilized to measure and validate the signal integrity of the observed GNSS satellites. Also, we will compare the observations with those made at the ground-based reference GNSS station available at our research facility.
