About
FoX NavRIX GEO, Beyond Gravity’s cost-efficient, redundant (or non-redundant), multi-constellation (GPS, Galileo) GNSS receiver for commercial GTO/GEO missions provides an outstanding on-board real-time navigation performance with accuracy below 10 meter (3D rms). It is specifically designed for use in harsh space environments also for mission durations of up to 15 years. Due to its SDR design the receiver provides the maximum amount of resilience, availability, and flexibility.
It belongs to Beyond Gravity’s next generation of spaceborne GNSS receivers, which are purely based on commercial components and deliver the same performance standards as traditional space receivers with a more cost-effective and mass-producible design.
