Stratospheric balloon attitude and position determination system based on the VHF omnidirectional range signal processing: TARDIS experiment

The aim of the experiment "Tracking and Attitude Radio-based Determination In Stratosphere" (TARDIS) is to develop an alternative navigation system based on digital processing of the VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) radio-navigation system signal. The radio-navigation systems signal processing can provide a position and attitude estimation for stratospheric vehicles, incrementing the reliability of navigation systems. The TARDIS experiment will be performed on a stratospheric balloon in October 2019.
