July 9, 2021 It’s been more than 1 year, 11 months and 2 weeks since the last EAA AirVenture Oshkosh — not that we’re counting or anything — and we’re ready to get back. The Garmin exhibit will be even better this year, and we’re located at the same location: just west of Boeing Plaza along Celebration Way. We hope you’re looking forward to it as much as we are. Below are just a few […]

Fugro’s SpaceStar GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) service provides high-accuracy positioning in space Artist’s rendering of Loft Orbital’s YAM-2 small satellite in orbit. The small sat will demo Fugro’s PPP service. (Image: Loft Orbital) Loft Orbital on June 30 launched its YAM-2 satellite, the first satellite equipped with Fugro’s SpaceStar next-generation positioning technology from Cape Canaveral in Florida onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Now in orbit, the satellite will provide an on-orbit demonstration of […]

June 22, 2021 By Jenny Kalmbach Over the years, I have taught hundreds of people how to stand-up paddle board, from 3-year-old kids to 80-year-old grandparents, celebrities, athletes and once even someone who didn’t know how to swim (don’t worry, they wore a life jacket). And every single person was able to do it. I believe one of the reasons stand-up paddle boarding became so popular is that it’s a sport for everyone — you […]

The HawkEye 360 constellation detects and geolocates RF signals for maritime situational awareness, emergency response, national security and spectrum analysis applications. Cluster 3 satellites fly in formation, joining Clusters 1 and 2. (Artist’s rendering: Hawkeye 360) HawkEye 360 Inc. announced the successful launch of its Cluster 3 radio frequency geolocation microsatellites built by Space Flight Laboratory (SFL). Carried aboard the June 30 SpaceX Transporter 2 mission, the Cluster 3 formation-flying microsatellites quickly established communication with […]

June 30, 2021 Greg Norman has played thousands of courses worldwide — while on the tour and just for fun. He’s also designed 106 of them. He aims to make each one “practical, playable and memorable.” In an attempt to gain some insight (and maybe an advantage), on a recent video production, we asked what he typically includes on the hardest hole — if it’s hidden hazards, a dog leg or maybe a water feature. […]

Photo: Parrot Drone-maker Parrot has released a new drone for professionals. The ANAFI Ai UAV uses 4G as its main data link between the drone and the operator, so that users will no longer experience transmission limitations. The 4G also enables precise control at any distance. For beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights, it stays connected even behind obstacles. For the first time, ANAFI Ai embeds a secure element in the drone and in its Skycontroller 4. The […]

July 2, 2021 Even if you’re new to boating, it’s unlikely that you’re completely new to GPS systems. Maybe you have a car GPS to get you from point A to point B; maybe you rely on a smartphone; or maybe you’ve gotten very, very skilled at navigating Google Earth to creep on your favorite Zillow listings. (No judgment.) Regardless, we’re fairly positive you aren’t reading this article having only ever seen an old-fashioned paper […]

Screenshot: GPSPatron GPSPatron is offering products and services to protect equipment, particularly GNSS-dependent critical infrastructure. Its GP-Probe TGE2 is designed to protect time servers against threats including spoofing, jamming, ionospheric scintillation and system errors. An embedded PPS phase-error measurement function enables reliable monitoring of the time server’s health by measuring the time offset between internal and external PPS. The GP-Probe, in conjunction with GP-Cloud, allows development of robust, resilient clock-synchronization systems. GP-Cloud is a web […]
