Ground multipath mitigation with UAVs

Galileo OS NMA authentication services under test

Since November 28th 2020, the navigation authentication data has been transmitted through the Galileo Open Service (OS) signal. This is the first open service GNSS signal ever to provide authentication service, namely Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA). We are participating in the evaluation that is taking currently ongoing and are capable of evaluating the authentication service that is being provided.

Emulation of a LiDAR/IMU Navigation Solution for an Asteroid Lander Using a Multicopter

In the field of deep space exploration, sending probes to planets, moons and asteroids are getting more attention in order to understand the origin of the universe, the assessment of possible existence of forms of life –apart from those on the Earth–, and the possibility of establishing colonies in the solar system. One crucial task of those spacecraft is to ensure the autonomy of operating in the vicinities of those celestial bodies. Hence, we are proposing a new concept for autonomous navigation of an asteroid lander.
