Key highlights

The SpacePNT NaviLEO is an advanced autonomous GNSS receiver solution. NaviMoon's advanced navigation algorithms integrated with precise orbital forces model can provide <100 m (3D rms) in Moon transfer orbits and cis-lunar space, fully autonomously, cutting the dependence on costly Earth infrastructure for orbit determination.

NaviMoon was developed to demonstrate for the first time, onboard the ESA-SSTL Lunar Pathfinder Spacecraft in orbit around the Moon, the use of terrestrial satellite navigation signals (i.e., GALILEO, GPS) for the purpose of real-time and autonomous orbit determination and Positioning, Navigation and Timing.

Applications

  • Remote sensing
  • Earth observation
  • In-orbit servicing
  • Space debris removal
  • Provision of secured localization services from LEO (for GNSS backup or provision of alternate PNT services) or from cislunar orbits (for Moon PNT services)
  • Autonomous navigation and timing for Moon missions

Key features

  • Implements radiation tolerant HW/SW/FW architecture including latch-up protections and ECC
  • Supports both passive and active antennas
  • In-flight FW/SW upgradability
  • One unique platform solution for launchers, LEO, GEO, HEO, and Moon missions
  • Onboard orbital propagator for improved performance and availability
  • Supports multiple GNSS (GPS, GALILEO) over multiple frequencie
  • Supports cold redundancy (with 2 units)
