Our planet is being continuously bathed in radio signals from satnav satellites – which are useful for much more than just navigation. Dedicated space missions acquire these signal reflections to amass valuable environmental information. The shoebox-sized PRETTY CubeSat, flying on Europe’s next Vega launcher, will investigate a new frequency and novel observation angle to better measure the rate of climate change – at the same time as gathering radiation data on its surrounding space environment. The PRETTY, Passive REflecTometry and dosimeTrY, mission will peer ahead to the horizon to receive signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites visible just above it. Two patch antennas on its forward face will pick up the same signal from the same satellite – or rather one signal that has reached it through space and the equivalent signal that has reflected off Earth’s cryosphere or oceans. Using a highly advanced version of ‘spot the difference’ PRETTY will compare the twin signals onboard to derive ice and sea height to an accuracy of at least 50 cm from 550 km orbital altitude. ESA radiometer engineer Manuel Martin Neira was the original inventor of the GNSS ‘reflectometry’ concept, in active use today by numerous missions worldwide to acquire comparatively-low-cost altimetry and scatterometry-based wind and wave data. He explains that PRETTY incorporates some important innovations: “Existing reflectometry missions look straight down, but such a vertical geometry gives rise to a very rough sea surface. By peering down at a shallow angle the sea appears smoother – akin to the way that Venetian blinds can variously appear open or closed, depending on the angle that you observe them. The result is that reflected GNSS signals remain more coherent in turn. “In addition, PRETTY is making use of a new GNSS frequency for the first time, employing the longer-wavelength E5/L5 as transmitted by European Galileo and US GPS satellites. The PRETTY team made this change late in mission development, guided by ground testing that showed superior accuracy using this frequency band.” Full Article: https://lnkd.in/ee5dJbtW #ESA #PRETTY #GNSS

A Guide for Testers of GPS Devices and Systems 🛰️ The GPS concept of operation is based upon satellite ranging. Users figure their position on the earth by measuring their distance from the group of satellites in space. The satellites act as precise reference points. Each GPS satellite transmits an accurate position and time signal. The user’s receiver measures the time delay for the signal to reach the receiver, which is the direct measure of the apparent range to the satellite. Measurements collected simultaneously from four satellites are processed to solve for the three dimensions of position, velocity and time. #ResilientPNT #PNT #GNSS #Simulation #GPS

I am happy to announch that my new paper: "Enhancing Navigation Accuracy in a Geostationary Orbit by Utilizing a Regional Navigation Satellite System" has been published. https://lnkd.in/gMP86vGK This paper is proposing a new idea to improve orbit determination accuracy of geostationary satellie by enhancing the observability at geostationary orbit with a small modification on the GNSS receiver. The position error is expected to be reduced to less than a half with this approach. The approach will contribute to a satellite control automation and precise station keeping at geostationary orbit. #geostationary #satelliteautomation #gnss

➡ Have a look at the publication by our colleague Lukas Müller et al.: "Real-time navigation solutions of low-cost off-the-shelf GNSS receivers on board the Astrocast constellation satellites" 🛰 The paper shows that a low-cost GNSS payload can provide continuous real-time on-board positioning of small satellites with an accuracy of about 3 to 15 m at a very low price and with very low resources, but also points out three major effects that can degrade the accuracy by several meters. https://lnkd.in/dA6xnCHn
