- Description
The Spacecraft Speedometer provides real-time velocity measurements for satellites without relying on GPS, which can be unreliable at low altitudes, in high-radiation environments and during geomagnetic storms. The technology has been successfully tested in space and is ready for scaling and commercialization. We are seeking a manufacturing partner or system integrator to refine production and deploy this technology into commercial and defense satellite markets.
How it Works:
Using a dual-sensor head electrostatic analyzer (ESA), it determines velocity by analyzing ambient space plasma charged particles, offering a self-contained, compact, and power-efficient solution for better orbital tracking and space weather monitoring. Designed as a small size, weight, and power (SWaP) payload for small satellite platforms, this system fills a critical gap in spacecraft navigation, improving operational efficiency while reducing reliance on external tracking systems. As spacecraft and probes travel to planets and moons where GPS isn-t available, the Spacecraft Speedometer provides a critical navigation solution for deep-space missions. By enabling precise velocity measurements in these GPS-denied environments, it supports autonomous spacecraft operations, improves mission planning, and ensures accurate trajectory control for planetary exploration and interplanetary travel.
Key Advantages:
Velocity Measurement: Directly measures spacecraft speed in situ, improving orbit prediction and maneuver planning. Compact & Low-Power Design: Optimized for CubeSats and small satellites, making it cost-effective and scalable. Enhanced Space Weather Monitoring: Provides real-time data to mitigate space weather disruptions that impact spacecraft performance. Increased Accuracy for Satellite Tracking: Reduces reliance on GPS, which struggles at low altitudes and certain latitudes, especially during intense space weather events. Space Deployment: Successfully te... - Documents:
