SiTime takes on GNSS threats

SiTime Corporation has launched the Endura® temperature compensated oscillator (Super-TCXO®), ENDRTTT, for PNT applications. When GNSS signals are dropped due to unavailability or degradation – including signal jamming or extreme environmental conditions – holdover maintains timing stability locally to enable uninterrupted network operation. The ENDR-TTT Endura Super-TCXO provides up to 20x longer holdover and 20x better PNT accuracy, dramatically improving spoofing resistance. sitime.com

Second-gen spaceborne GNSS receiver by SpacePNT

SpacePNT has completed the extensive qualification testing of its second generation product, including vibrations, shocks, thermal vacuum and EMC. This second generation multi-frequency multi-GNSS receiver product is the result of two important ESA ARTES Competitive & Growth (C&G) development projects that have received support from the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Swiss Space Office (SSO).

The first ARTES C&G project has allowed SpacePNT to develop an industrialized second generation product suitable to be produced in larger quantities, i.e., targeting LEO/LEO-PNT/GEO telecom constellations, and embedding amongst other options a proprietary Precise Orbit Determination (POD) algorithm capable to provide subdecimetre (3D rms) real-time positioning and timing onboard the spacecraft. Within the second ARTES C&G project, SpacePNT has developed a specific Radiation Hardiness Assurance (RHA) approach that can be proposed as an option for very long duration missions operating in harsh radiation environments. spacepnt.com
