Figure 13-43. Percent Lock and data points used before and after the switch to the B-sidereceiver on March 4, 2005, day 64.Regardless of the root cause, it is important to note that while the percentage of <strong>GP</strong>S solutions used by the OrbitDetermination group has decreased since the switch to the B-side receiver, the quality of the solutions has notdecreased, The orbit solution calculated by the group continues to meet mission requirements. Although aperformance difference between the A-side and B-side components is clear, the <strong>GP</strong>S subsystem has easilyexceeded all mission requirements and pre-launch expectations.13.4.8 ReferencesJ.
