  Quantum super-resolution involves resolving two sources below the Rayleigh
limit using quantum optics. Such a technique would allow high-precision
inter-satellite positioning and tracking on communication and navigation
constellations. Due to the size, weight and power constraints typical of
low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, a simple solution is often preferred. Here,
we show that a balanced homodyne detection (BHD) setup using a shaped
single-mode local oscillator can achieve super-resolution despite typical
photonic losses. We further analyze the impact of a fluctuating and fixed
centroid misalignment due to satellite pointing issues, and find that fixed
misalignment is comparatively more detrimental to the performance of a BHD
setup. Thus, our study provides a practical assessment of BHD to achieve
super-resolution on a modern LEO satellite platform. Finally, we discuss how
our analysis can be extended to stellar sources for astronomical applications.
