Re:Can SpaceX land a rocket with 1/2 cm accuracy? by louwhopley on Monday October 21, 2024 @07:35PM (#41909669)
Given the size of the booster, what corrections would placing GNSS sensors in multiple places provide to increase positional accuracy?

Eg if you space sensors 20m’s apart.

It’s a really good idea! Unfortunately not too much, since the error is largely from atmospheric distortion of the signal and so the error for two receivers close by would be correlated. You’d need the error to be uncorrelated to gain accuracy with multiple receivers.
