On Monday, December 06, 2021, GMV Innovation Solutions Sp. Z o.o, together with the Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Hertz Systems, presented the results of the NAVISP project “GNSS SW Receiver for Microlaunchers & Microsatellites” (GNSSW-MLMSC).
Within the scope of NAVISP Element 2, which aims to maintain and improve the capabilities and competitiveness of the participating States industry in the global market for satellite navigation and, more broadly, PNT technologies and services, GMV's main objective was to develop a Software Defined Radio (SDR) GNSS receiver for example to enable precise positioning of small satellites in Earth orbit and also to serve as an avionics element for small launchers.
The GNSSW-MLMSC project was focused on development and validation of the Single Frequency Receiver and on the proof of concept for the Dual Frequency Receiver version. The consortium delivered an adapted Receiver for microlaunchers applications, including a dual core Zynq7030 processor for the dual band signals tracking.
At the end of the activity, the GNSSW MLMSC receiver reached the Technological Readiness Level (TRL) 7. The flight of the MIURA1 launcher (planned for 2022) will carry the Receiver as a payload, which will raise the maturity level of the solution to TRL 8-9, making it ready for commercialisation. GMV presented the strategy for the commercialisation of the product, including new projects for its further evolution such as the dual-frequency GNSSW receiver for micro satellites project currently on going in Element 2 and commercial agreements under signature.
