The mission of the ENSPACE (Enhanced Navigation in Space) project is to develop innovative software suites for enhanced navigation, positioning and time in space.
The main objective is to become a reference product for navigation, positioning and time in space for different missions that require low cost, security and a flexible software solution.
Moreover, for existing high grade space applications, ENSPACE has the objective to set a new reference technology to enhance security.
The main drivers will be the design and development of a product with the following cutting-edge features: multi applications, multi mission, low cost, secure and robust, fully software solution.
The activities of the fisrt reporting period have been carried out according to the tasks in the Description of Work. Particularly, the team has worked on:
-Mission Scenario and Enhanced GNSS Applications Requirements. This activity is related to WP2000 and has been completed.
-Design of enhanced GNSS applications. This activity is related to WP3000 and has been completed.
-Exploiation and commincation. This activity is related to WP600 and has been performed in part, including the website development and study on the addressable market analysis.
The expected results and impacts are described in the DoA and are still applicable.
The enhanced GNSS receiver for space navigation and tracking is expected to be used in several applications, including: navigation/timing, orbit determination, attitude determination and security/authentication in space.
The main expected impact is to provide a reference product for Navigation, Positioning and Timing in Space for different missions that require low cost, security and a flexible software solution.
The use in space of Galileo authentication has raised interest and will be further exploited.
