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. The developed concept, structure, algorithms, results of both computer simulation and expected technical results for the TARDIS experiment are hereby presented.
