Navigating The Future
To Improve Life On Earth

Roadside Assistance in Space

In partnership with Space Machines Company, we are equipping Optimus – an Orbital Service Vehicle (OSV) designed to inspect, repair and safeguard vital space infrastructure that our modern lives and space economy depend upon.

The Boreas X90, a space-grade inertial navigation system (INS), is a critical instrument to optimize the vehicle’s maneuvers within and between orbits, providing precise orientation and positioning.

Leaving Our Print on the Lunar Surface

As part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, Advanced Navigation is gearing up to deliver a space-grade Laser measurement Unit for Navigation Aid (LUNA) sensor to US-based space company, Intuitive Machines. Onboard its Nova-C lander, the sensor will improve the safety and reliability of autonomous landing maneuvers during the final descent to the lunar surface.

LUNA – Laser Measurement Unit for Navigational Aid

Advanced Navigation’s light detection altimetry and velocimetry (LiDAV) system uses lasers to measure several parameters detailing a vehicle’s environment. Most importantly, it can determine the vehicle’s velocity and position relative to the lunar surface in 3D with extreme accuracy and precision. 

When visual references are unavailable and cameras are obstructed by dust and other obscurities, LUNA will provide the primary navigational input. This technology is critical to performing precise soft landing procedures and exploring the lunar surface with confidence.
