A NAVISP project is harnessing satnav to insert an intelligent sense of place and time to power grids, to provide early warning of potentially dangerous electricity network failures.
Four years ago an apparent fire from nowhere forced the evacuation of 5 000 people from central London. Thick black smoke and choking fumes emerged from manhole covers as power was cut off to the Holborn…
Satellite navigation has become a global utility, but one that is vulnerable to interference. The Navigation Innovation and Support Programme is prioritizing research into countering jamming and spoofing of satnav signals, with partners companies exploring varied approaches.
How is it that a distant scattering of medium-sized Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites orbiting some 22…
Today the NAVISP Programme Manager presented the Programme and the benefits it brings to the 3rd session of the Global Conference on Space for Emerging Countries (GLEC) 2019 in Marrakech, Morocco.
GLEC aims at actively engaging emerging countries in the space scene by highlighting the socio-economic benefits of space applications, in part by: understanding the various financial models for the…

The presentations given at the NAVISP Industry Days are now published, and can be found here.
More than 140 people attended the event, appraising the results reached after only two years of operational life of the Programme. More than 90 separate activities being undertaken, and approximately 65% of the budget of the first phase already engaged. For phase two of NAVISP the aim is to double the budget, based on the level of interest.
The intervention of the DG focused on the main…
Under NAVISP Element 1, ESA awarded the activity “Pulsar Timescale Demonstration” to a consortium led by GMV-UK with the support of the University of Manchester and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory.
The objective of the activity is to set up a pulsar-based clock , called “PulChron”. The system measures the passing of time using millisecond-frequency radio pulses from…
