Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
The 2022 edition of the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit drew speakers (virtually) from around the world, providing a broad overview of the latest developments in the field of GNSS. A highlight was the out-of-this-world session on PNT for lunar navigation, featuring long-time collaborators ESA and NASA.

The Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) of the National Land Survey of Finland announced the release of its software-defined receiver as open source for the international GNSS community. The GSRx software receiver has been extensively used as a research platform for the last decade in different national and international R&D projects to develop, test and validate novel receiver processing algorithms for robust, resilient and precise position, navigation and timing (PNT).

Hemisphere GNSS’s new Vega 34 OEM heading and positioning board enables users to upgrade to multi-frequency GNSS without changing pinouts. Integrators who use predecessor Hemisphere 34-pin products such as Crescent Vector H220 and Phantom 34 OEM boards can now transition to improved positioning performance and satellite tracking capabilities of the Vega series.

Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division
I had my first interaction with a geodetic GPS receiver in the early ’90s. In my freshman year of college, a professor demonstrated how to use two single-frequency receivers to achieve centimeter accuracy for post-processing observations. I didn’t know at the time that I would spend the next 30 years deeply involved in and contributing to this innovative positioning technology.

Scientists at Draper Laboratory have patented a celestial navigation system called a sliced-lens star tracker, which in its early form can achieve 50-meter accuracy in GNSS-denied environments. Improvements are expected as the technology evolves. Vehicles of all kinds may be able to benefit when using this system for navigating by the stars.

Arianespace recently announced it will launch a total of eight new Galileo satellites over the next few years.
The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) selected Arianespace to launch four new Galileo satellites for Europe’s satellite navigation system, according to a news release. This comes after the European Space Agency’s (ESA) order to launch four satellites last October and will complete the deployment of first-generation Galileo satellites.
