N-SPHERE
GNSS Receiver
N-SPHERE comes as a new generation of GNSS receiver, optimized for a smooth integration within Nano and Cube satellites. It implements the latest state-of-the-art positioning and synchronization techniques, to reach top-class performances for Real-Time Precise Onboard Orbit Determination (P2OD) and accurate time synchronization.
The receiver can synchronize from different GNSS systems including GPS, GALILEO, BeiDou and GLONASS. Its synchronization process is GALILEO autonomous with no need of GPS pre-synchronization. In terms of positioning, N-SPHERE provides accuracy better than 0.3 meters, thanks to an Onboard Orbital Navigator (referenced as “Bolero”). Its Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) core architecture brings maximum flexibility and authorizes in-flight firmware upgrade or software configuration adjustment.
