Characteristics

Sextans GMV® can be deployed standalone or readily integrated into an existing OBC (depending on the processor power). The modular architecture and RTEMS 5.0 operating system allow the Sextans GMV®  for Symmetric/ Asymmetric multiprocessing on a range of HW architectures.

The flexibility of the Sextans GMV® receiver enables it to be customized to operate on a single processing core, or in parallel with other applications (e.g. guidance, navigation and control algorithms) on a multi-core processor.

Specifications

  • Dual constellation/dual frequency (only for Microsatellites).

  • Providing standalone precise navigation in-flight/in-orbit.

  • Adaptability to different HW platforms.

  • Configurability for different space mission requirements.

  • Wide range of interfaces (HW and SW).

  • Multiple navigation modes (LSQ, EKF, IONOfree).

  • Software Defined Radio GNSS receiver upgradeable in orbit.
