Provided by European satell ite prime contractors Thales Alenia Space and GMV they will test a new app roach of providing location\, direction\, and timing services from satelli tes in low orbit and its contribution to a multi-layer navigation system. ESA's LEO-PNT demonstration mission is part of the FutureNAV program and w ill assess how a low Earth orbit fleet of satellites can work in combinati on with the Galileo and EGNOS constellations in higher orbits that provide Europe's own global navigation system. Rocket Lab's mission will be named "Daughter Of The Stars".\n-\nThe two Pathfinder A satellites are large Cu beSats (12U and 16U) the size of a suitcase weighing around 20kg and 30kg with payloads to broadcast in L- and S- bands. They will validate the syst em definition and early signal broadcast\, de-risk and demonstrate technol ogy for the core elements for succeeding LEO-PNT satellites. They will ope rate after in-orbit commissioning for at least six months. Pathfinder B sa tellites are larger and more complex and will build on the knowledge acqui red during the design\, development and integration of Pathfinder A satell ites. They will carry additional payloads to test innovative signals acros s frequency bands and demonstrate the provision of additional services.\nT he Celeste 10-satellite constellation (plus two spares) will fly in low Ea rth orbit to test innovative signals across various frequency bands. It is being developed under two parallel contracts with GMV (Spain) and Thales Alenia Space (France) as prime contractors.\n-\nDelayed from December.
