Start date: 27/02/2020Duration: 15 MonthsGPS 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…Prime contractor

Start date: 03/12/2019Duration: 12 MonthsThe exploitation of GNSS time as a reference source for timing and synchronisation processes is becoming fundamental for critical infrastructures like telecommunication networks, energy distribution grids, financial markets, and commercial aviation systems and networks. In the case of commercial aviation, GNSS time is used for: Positioning and timing for on-board navigation…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/11/2019Duration: 12 MonthsUntil recently, RTK and PPP technologies have been developed for professional applications, the price not being affordable for mass-market users. Over the last couple of years, however, impressive breakthroughs have been witnessed for mass-market applications. While multi-band GNSS will provide an improved user experience in many consumer settings, the solution alone cannot deliver sufficiently…Prime contractor

In the last years, there has been fast progress in satellite on-board computing achieved by the satellite telecommunication industry. On-board processors are more performant, with less mass, volume and power consumption. As regards current and evolving space-based PNT data layer services (e.g. private or public GNSS data augmentations), they usually retransmit data computed on-ground via…Prime contractor

There are an increasing number of IoT applications, and projections show that global Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connections will increase by almost one order of magnitude in the next five years. Terrestrial networks are continuously targeting evolutions of the IoT markets. For example, the latest release of 3GPP standards has introduced modifications to their standard (e.g. NB-IoT) to comply with…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/06/2019Duration: 15 MonthsPrecise relative positioning in MEO (Medium Earth Orbit, at altitudes ranging between 2,000 and 36,000 km) exploiting GNSS is a subject that has been little explored while having high potential for enabling an interesting set of applications based on space-to-space interferometry. Establishing accurate inter-satellite baselines based on GNSS measurements would open the door to new missions at…Prime contractor
