    001 - Complementary PNT Infrastructure in LEO

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 15/01/2018
    GNSS is the only global, free, comprehensive technology providing absolute PNT data to users worldwide. Its limitations are known, including long life cycle and replenishment schedule, affecting their ability to adapt easily to short-term market needs and to some extent, resilience. Considering the above, alternative PNT methods and solutions have been developed or are being investigated,…

  • 010 - Low-Cost GNSS Antenna Arrays for Improved Performance, Anti-Spoofing and Meaconing and Interference Mitigation

    010 - Low-Cost GNSS Antenna Arrays for Improved Performance, Anti-Spoofing and Meaconing and Interference Mitigation

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 15/01/2018
    GNSS antennas in user receiver devices are relatively simple. More sophisticated antennas could be designed to bring spatial diversity and gain, and to be more resistant against spoofing and meaconing, as well as reducing other sources of interference, for instance by nulling the gain of the antenna in this direction. Using arrays of dynamic elements (phase/gain controlled) would also make it…

    023 - Earth-Moon Navigation / System Study and Development of a Highly-Sensitive Spaceborne Receiver Prototype

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 09/01/2020
    GPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…

    032 - Advanced concept for chip-scale atomic clocks

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 01/03/2020
    Compact (few cc volume) and low power consumption (< 200 mW) atomic clocks (also known as Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks, CSAC) have become commercially available in the last decade and have demonstrated their benefits for a wide range of applications, such as PNT in adverse environment (long coherent integration), secure telecommunication or for timing hold-over in case of loss of GNSS or other network…

    032 bis - Advanced concept for chip-scale atomic clocks

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 01/04/2020
    Please find the Final presentation here. Compact and low power consumption atomic clocks, also known as CSAC (Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks) have grown a progressive interest during the last decades. Such devices feature the unique capability of a stable frequency and timing reference over extended periods of time, otherwise unreachable with conventional oscillator technology based on quartz crystal…

    039 - Earth Moon GNSS Spaceborne Receiver for In-Orbit-Demonstration

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 07/04/2021
    Current GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon).  The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…
