In the context of the renewed interest in lunar exploration, the need for preparing the future user instrument for the new positioning service on the Moon has become very important, in particular for supplementing the current navigation techniques based on inertial sensors and cameras. A significant R&D effort is ongoing towards the development of dedicated lunar infrastructures for enhanced Moon…Subcontractors

MEOSAR is the new reference for Cospas-Sarsat system, relying on SAR payloads deployed on all GNSS constellations and MEOLUTs deployed worldwide. The first two MEOLUTs (Florida, France) have been officially approved in 2016. However, first operational results have rapidly shown a performance degradation compared to LEOSAR when the beacon was moving. Since then, it evolved to take into account…Prime contractor

The world economic trade has continuously increased over the past decades. For the maritime business, this had led to larger and larger ships and denser traffic. Examples of famous waterways are the Suez Channel, the Kiel Channel, and the Malakka Strait near Singapore. The latter one is passed by 200 to 250 container ships daily that transport 25 % of the global maritime transportation…Prime contractor

Start date: 21/12/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGNSS such as GPS are vulnerable, largely due to the tiny signal strength and the geometry of satellites in urban environments. Drone regulatory frameworks are progressing to where autonomous flight and operations Beyond Visual Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) are a possibility, thus driving the need for reliable navigation services to complement or act as a back-up to existing ones (chiefly GNSS). Trusted…

The PNT Moon surface Beacon and Reference Station (referred to as Moon Station) is an important component of the future LCNS system. The LCNS system will initially foresee the deployment of dedicated lunar orbiting ranging satellites, whereas the Moon Stations, as part of the LCNS surface infrastructure, will be deployed at a subsequent stage. Nonetheless, it is deemed important to implement…Subcontractors

Start date: 13/12/2022Duration: 12 MonthsMoon exploration is emerging as the next global strategic priority in space exploration. Several dozens of commercial and institutional missions to the Moon are planned for the coming decades, with a major contribution also expected from ESA (e.g. Orion service module, ESA participation in Gateway lunar station and contribution to multiple lunar robotic missions). In spite of the wide variety of…Prime contractor

In conventional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, tracking is performed in several independent tracking loops that provide measurements (pseudo ranges, pseudo range rates, carrier Doppler) to a navigation algorithm (Kalman filter), controlling the Position, Velocity, Time (PVT) solution. In Vector Tracking Loop (VTL) , the two tasks of signal tracking and PVT estimations are…Prime contractor
