A new GPS receiver has been implemented in radiation hardened, space ready hardware. The receiver has capabilities lacking in all other current commercial space-borne GPS receivers. Namely, PiVoT 2.0 can acquire GPS signals in a fraction of the time taken by these other receivers. This capability arises from the use of dedicated signals also leads to the ability to process/track weak GPS signals, which are unusable to most current technology receivers. This weak signal capability opens the door to a host of new applications for GPS.
