  • 075 - Bearer independent secure time transfer

    075 - Bearer independent secure time transfer

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 13/03/2024
    The objective of the project is to focus on and implement existing time transfer data protocols (NTP, NTS...) and the feasibility of their integration in existing constellations. The scope is to study the overlay of data time transfer protocols (“Data TT”) onto satellite communication protocols. However, the perspective to study 5G NTN frames (“5G TT”) is not left out. The proposed…

    044 - Hollow Corner Cube Retro-Reflectors In-Orbit PNT

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 20/12/2021
    Optical solid Corner Cube Retro-reflectors (CCR) are often implemented to allow laser tracking of satellites from ground. In order to achieve a measureable return signal, such corner cubes are typically rather large and, as conventional corner cubes are made of glass, also high in mass. A hollow CCR, made of three orthogonal flat mirror surfaces, offers theoretically superior performance and a…
