Start date: 10/02/2025Duration: 18 MonthsBuilding upon the results of the OpSTAR Phase 0 study carried out under NAVISP-EL2-139 by OHB Systems AG, the OpSTAR In-Orbit Demonstrator (IoD) Phase A/B1 will consolidate the OpSTAR IoD mission scope. It will notably refine the mission objectives as well as perform the System Preliminary Design Review (Step 1) of the overall OpSTAR IOD, preparing the foundations of the IOD Phase B2/C/D/E to… -
The GNSS-SUT project is targeting the snapshot technology market. Current tracking applications are usually done by conventional real-time GNSS receivers where the processing chain is done on board of the device. This comes with high power cost due to the computational effort required. In a snapshot-based approach, the computational processing (highpower demanding) load is done on a remote server…Subcontractors
