Inside Ingenuity with AeroVironment Part III: The Meaning of Martian Flight

On Friday, May 7, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter left both Wright Brothers Field and the Perseverance Rover behind. Flying for 110 seconds, Ingenuity traveled 423 feet at a new height of 33 feet, capturing high resolution color images before landing at its new Red Planet home, which bears the tepid but significant name Airfield B. Ingenuity had become an operational scout in addition to its original role as a technology demonstrator.

New Microsoft Cloud Identity App Uses GPS to Defend Against Hackers

Microsoft has added identity and access management capabilities employing GPS among other factors to its Azure Active Directory, a cloud identity solution, to counter sophisticated hacking techniques. Two-factor authentication is no longer sufficient to defend against malicious entry. The GPS-based named locations and filters look at a range of signals for authorized user access.

Machine Guidance System Uses GNSS, Inertial for Quick Navigation in Many Industrial Applications

The Trimble GuidEx Machine Guidance System uses an integrated GNSS and inertial navigation system (INS) to compute a virtual reference point and precise heading, pitch and roll. This provides quick and efficient navigation along route corridors or to specific target areas,

Increased Rail Role Urged for Galileo and EGNOS; GNSS Important for Europe’s Green New Deal and Mobility Makeover

“Trains were born in Europe,” opens a recent report on European energy policy from the Jacques Delors Institute in Paris. So also, in some senses, were the Green movement and increased awareness of personal mobility options and potential. For the continent and the European Union community to maintain their world leadership in these two areas, the rail sector must play a greater role than it does presently, argues report author Matthias Ruete. He sees Galileo and EGNOS, the two European GNSS, as essential to this strategy.
