Abstract. The article examines the application of small, low-power satellite navigation receivers in nano-satellites, analyzes the technical performance of unified miniature GPS modules, microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial measurement modules for nano-satellites and integrated navigation receivers and opportunities have been explored. The integrated navigation subsystem is used to estimate the position, velocity, and attitude of a vehicle with the output of inertial sensors.

Keywords: Integrated Navigation System, Nanosat, CubeSat, MEMS applications, inertial measurement unit (IMU).
