About
Rakon’s NewSpace GNSS Receiver is a complete receiver subsystem for position, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications on CubeSats and small satellites. Available in dual-band and timing-optimized variants (DUAL and TIMING configurations), the receiver integrates Rakon’s expertise in frequency control with GNSS signal processing to provide a compact, integrated navigation solution for commercial satellite missions. The dual-board (DB) configuration adds redundancy for increased reliability.
