Start date: 15/01/2018GNSS 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,…

Start date: 15/01/2018GNSS 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…

Start date: 09/01/2020GPS 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…

Start date: 01/04/2020Please 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…

Start date: 18/01/2020DETECTRION is an Interference detection oriented GNSS RF Recording and Playback System able to operate in an autonomous and reliable manner in response to interferences by detecting them and recording a pre-programmed set of GNSS bands upon these events. DETECTRION is a market innovation, since currently there are no standalone products that integrate all features foreseen in this project.…

Start date: 07/04/2021Current 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…
