Fugro and GomSpace deliver world class position and timing accuracy onboard LEO satellites
Fugro and GomSpace announced a cooperation around the SpaceStar[TM ]product in 2020. Since then, the first SpaceStar systems have gained flight heritage and proven a stunning performance: Real time, sub-decimetre absolute positioning on board a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite without additional ground-infrastructure for the satellite operator. SpaceStar relies on GomSpace’s Software Defined Radio (SDR) with Fugro’s software utilizing real-time orbit and clock corrections from geostationary (GEO) satellites. The SDRs are delivered by GomSpace with the Fugro SpaceStar software pre-
