Scope of Activity
Rationale for Activity	Agencies new generations of space missions require telecommand and telemetry capabilities beyond current technologies to interconnect a spacecraft with its ground support system, or with another spacecraft. These new needs are for higher data rates, better link performances, more performing ranging systems, together with lower cost, mass and power and higher security. This work is dedicated to the development of recommendations for high performance ranging techniques to satisfy the needs of future agencies missions.
Goals	The goals of this Working Group are to: 1) Review the requirements for navigation/ranging performance in future missions; 2) Review techniques available to meet the requirements (e.g., regenerative ranging, Delta-DOR, high frequency ranging); 3) Issue a recommendation for novel ranging techniques; 4) Issue a green book on novel ranging techniques.
