Start date: 16/12/2020It is long debated whether a relation exists between the tidal stress produced by the Moon and the Sun on the Earth crust and the occurrence of difference geologic events, in particular large earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Clear evidence for this relation has been elusive for a long time. However, the analysis of more complete global earthquake catalogues has shown that a significant…Subcontractors

Start date: 11/01/2021Recent advances in technology have contributed to the deployment of a "de-facto" large GNSS receiver array based on affordable smart devices that are easy to find in the consumer market (dual band smartphones, raw GNSS data recording, new sensors). These devices, evolving fast with each new generation, feature an increasing number of capabilities and sensors able to collect a variety of…Prime contractor

Start date: 14/10/2020GNSS simulations are an important toolset supporting system engineering trade-offs and decisions. They are used to display and monitor key system performance indicators as well as study system behaviour, both through synthetic scenarios and real data replay. Industry and ESA currently use different tools to simulate GNSS systems, however often constrained to undertake only one of two different… -

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: 07/04/2021Current GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon). The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…Subcontractors

Start date: 03/05/2021The need for a robust Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system to complement or back up GNSS in critical infrastructure/critical applications is widely acknowledged. This translates into actions taken by stakeholders to further raise awareness (e.g. radio navigation plans in the US and Europe) and for some, pave the way towards some deployment (e.g. recent Request for Information initiated by…Subcontractors

Start date: 23/06/2021Funded under NAVISP Element 2, the headline goal of this 11-month project is to demonstrate a proof-of-concept implementation of a hybrid 5G/GNSS-based positioning system. The project will research, develop and draft the preliminary architecture definition, use cases and requirements for the eventual end-to-end system drawing upon the relevant expertise across the consortium. Once concluded the…Prime contractor

Start date: 23/07/2021The proposed project will build on the existing capabilities offered by the Spire constellation and develop the tools needed for geolocation signal processing, and to apply these toward the specific task of geolocating GNSS interferences coming from the Earth surface. The project will identify geographic areas for likely detection, develop the detection and geolocation algorithms, plan and execute…
