The newly developed GNSS is compatible with global GPS and Galileo systems. It is characterized by high precision of determining the position of the satellite in orbit with an accuracy of up to 2 m and its speed with an accuracy of 0.01 m / s. The receiver also allows for continuous measurements, which may prove crucial in new types of space missions, such as: formation flights, servicing satellites in orbit or intercepting space debris.
The GNSS receiver is universal, small in size and relatively cheap.
– The segment of small and nanosatellites, driven by the growing need for cheap access to space, is growing at a dizzying pace. Analysts indicate that it will increase by over 200 percent in the next five years. and will reach a value of almost $ 6 billion. The entry of Polish entities into this market is proof of the growing maturity of the domestic space industry, which thus contributes to the commercialization of Polish technological thought – said Paweł Wojtkiewicz, director of the space sector at GMV Innovating Solutions.
Both versions of the GNSS receiver successfully passed the testing phase in the laboratories of the Military University of Technology and the Center for Geospatial Analyzes and Satellite Calculations of the Warsaw University of Technology (CENAGIS), with which GMV signed a long-term cooperation agreement. The GNSS receiver for the launch missiles has already been integrated into the Miura 1 missile avionics, and the first flight test will be carried out on board it – later this year. In turn, the version of the receiver for the satellites will be tested during the GOMX-5 mission of the European Space Agency. The GOMX-5 is a satellite that will be launched into orbit in 2022.
