The sweeper Woxiaobai has been in service for a year. (Photo: Unicore) Fall is a beautiful time of year. But when the leaves drop, it means a lot of sweeping for most of us. Not so for the 200 campuses and parks in China using IdriverPlus’ WO series of unmanned sweepers. High-precision GNSS positioning plays an important role in making the autonomous units possible, providing real-time high-precision position, speed and time information. The sweeper in […]

There is nothing quite like riding in the outdoors: the sights, the smells and the enjoyment of being on the open road. When you get ready to get on your bike, you put on the kit that’ll keep you comfortable and safe whether you’re riding to the shops or aiming for a gigantic 200-kilometer stage. Any time that you’re outside, however, you’re at risk. You wear a helmet to stay safe, and for added protection, […]

Europe’s Galileo satellite navigationsystem, a rival of the American GPS network, is back in service after a six-day outage, its oversight agency said on Thursday. “Commercial users can already see signs of recovery of the Galileo navigation and timing services, although some fluctuations may be experienced until further notice,” the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency said in a statement. The system of 22 orbiting satellites, which helps to pinpoint and track mobile telephone users […]

ATLAS Space Operations, a leading innovator of ground communications in the space industry, continues to grow its on-orbit customer base with two additional launches this past week. BlackSky Global’s Global-3 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) COSMIC-2 both successfully launched into orbit, utilizing ATLAS for communications and data support. ATLAS is tasked with providing ground station operations as well as telemetry, command, and data support for both BlackSky and NOAA’s […]

High-precision GPS/INS receiver is now available with a single-antenna option for faster integration, lighter weight and lower power consumption. Photo: Septentrio Septentrio’s GPS/INS receiver is now available with a single-antenna option. The single-antenna receiver brings the possibility of robust centimeter positioning and 3D attitude (heading, roll, pitch), while keeping weight and power consumption to a minimum. For Septentrio customers, this means simplified integration as well as increased operation time and productivity. Septentrio centimeter-level positioning is […]

Europe’s Galileo satellite position system, a future rival of the American GPS network, has been out of service since Friday, its oversight agency said. The European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA) said the outage was caused by a “technical incident related to its ground infrastructure”. Galileo has been in a pilot phase since December 2016 and devices that use its signal should be able to switch to GPS services while it is fixed. “The […]
