In light of these constraints, small satellite systems typically omit the inclusion of a ranging system due to its power and specialized hardware requirements. However, new research in satellite ranging invented the telemetry ranging class of techniques which do not place any such requirements on the satellite. The thesis explores the possibility of implementing a telemetry ranging technique on the Delfi-PQ satellite, which is already in orbit using only software modifications. The working and performance of the technique in determining the position of the satellite were explored using its engineering model and have positive implications for small satellite navigation and science.
