SUMMARY:(NET) Electron • Celeste 1–2
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251215

UID:709845770934
DESCRIPTION:A Rocket Lab Electron rocket will launch a pair of Celeste LEO
 -PNT (Low Earth Orbit Positioning\, Navigation and Timing) Pathfinder A sa
 tellites for ESA into a 510km low Earth orbit. 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
  "?".\n-\nThe two Pathfinder A satellites are large CubeSats (12U and 16U)
  the size of a suitcase weighing around 20kg and 30kg with payloads to bro
 adcast in L- and S- bands. They will validate the system definition and ea
 rly signal broadcast\, de-risk and demonstrate technology for the core ele
 ments for succeeding LEO-PNT satellites. They will operate after in-orbit 
 commissioning for at least six months. Pathfinder B satellites are larger 
 and more complex and will build on the knowledge acquired during the desig
 n\, development and integration of Pathfinder A satellites. They will carr
 y additional payloads to test innovative signals across frequency bands an
 d demonstrate the provision of additional services.\nThe Celeste 10-satell
 ite constellation (plus two spares) will fly in low Earth orbit to test in
 novative signals across various frequency bands. It is being developed und
 er two parallel contracts with GMV (Spain) and Thales Alenia Space (France
 ) as prime contractors.
