Start date: 19/05/2021Date of Completion: 21/05/2021Position uncertainty during autonomous manoeuvres such as orbit-raising/de-orbiting requires that the local knowledge during low thrust (i.e. with electric propulsion) is accurately determined. Current orbit-raising assumes semi-autonomous control assisted by GNSS, with a long time integral to measure increasing altitude and trajectory of the satellite. The use of a hybrid GNSS unit that…Prime contractor

Start date: 23/10/2018The COLOSSUS product is a cloud-based GNSS data processing platform for autonomous and continuous ingestion and processing of vast amounts of crowd-sourced RINEX data collected from continuously operating GNSS receiver (CORS) networks. It will take advantage of the availability of numerous public and private CORS networks that are routinely collecting RINEX data from multiple GNSS… -
Start date: 17/01/2018NEXTGEN GNSS is a multi-frequency/multi-constellation GNSS antenna aiming at providing centimetric accuracy and intended initially for use in the driverless car market. The antenna is based on proprietary dielectrically-loaded, multi-filar helix antenna technology and is optimised for use with the Galileo E1 and E5 AltBOC waveforms The proposed antenna will provide multi-frequency operation and,…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/03/2019This activity represents an innovative concept to realise Positioning, Navigation and Timing using neutrino particles. At present, standard navigation approaches – including satellite navigation – rely on direct line-of-sight RF and optical communications. Neutrinos move at around the speed of light, have no electric charge and are low mass, thus showing very low interaction with normal…Subcontractors

Start date: 01/06/2019Precise 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… -
Start date: 05/07/2019DDK Positioning will develop and deliver a Precise Positioning Service that will be delivered on the Iridium Communication Satellite Service. As a new global positioning service, new and unique characteristics of the service will be developed, with the aim of delivering a service for large volume markets, these characterises will be: • Network robust • Instantaneous start up…Prime contractor

Start date: 05/03/2021The project aims to develop a Cloud-based Snapshot GNSS solution that provides augmented levels of sensitivity, potentially extending the use of GNSS PNT services to degraded, or even currently denied scenarios, such as urban canyons or mild indoor facilities. Within the project, Albora is developing a disruptive technology, ALCORE, based on the combination of high sensitivity techniques and… -
Start date: 19/02/2021Envisage Space has developed analytical software which we call RelyMap, which is designed to analyse wide areas (pan-city/region) of a complex urban environment and identify areas where GNSS signal provision is either impacted or blocked due to anomalies such as building shadowing etc.RelyMap Enhance builds upon this technology and understanding to enable improved location accuracy for GNSS…Prime contractor

Start date: 21/03/2021Quantum metrology techniques show great potential to enhance both precision and security of existing PNT techniques. It has been shown that, by probing physical quantities using quantum states of light and/or matter, one can achieve a precision beyond the theoretical limit set by classical mechanics. This effect has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts and is particularly useful in optical…
