ESA's NAVISP Programmes

In a 14/12/2021 webinar, NAVISP industry shows how to help scientists take a Black Hole sharp image. Register for the Final Presentation of the Precise Relative Positioning in MEO to support Science Missions project!

Critical technologies required to achieve precise relative positioning in Medium Earth Orbit, developed in the NAVISP context, can support scientists to advance on their understanding of physical cosmology. As a use case, the challenging scenario of getting a sharp image of the event horizon of a black hole, is considered to explore the limits of relative positioning in MEO. This use case…
