While Google Maps has evolved to become a stand-alone platform that offers super-advanced capabilities, many people out there still use it solely for the navigation component. In other words, they ...

At the signal layer, the approach draws simultaneously on multiple components of 5G transmissions to maintain lock even when reflections dominate. Rather than losing precision when signals weaken, the ...

CEDARVILLE — The United States launched the experimental GPS satellite NTS-3 in mid-August from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, marking the first such launch in nearly 50 years. The Navigation ...

WASHINGTON — A recently launched Indian navigation satellite is stranded in a transfer orbit after the failure of its onboard propulsion system and could soon renter. The Indian Space Research ...

The skyrocketing adoption of mobile navigation solutions, including Google Maps and Waze, is forcing Navman to rethink the company’s long-term focus. As such, Navman is leaving the sat-nav market in ...

ESA plans to use its upcoming Lunar Pathfinder mission to experiment with expanding sat-nav coverage to the Moon. By tuning in to the radio signals leaking from the Galileo and GPS satellite ...

Scientists have figured out how to plot the most fuel-efficient routes through space, just like a cosmic sat-nav, or satellite-navigation. Using something called "knot theory," astrophysicists have ...

ESA is requesting funding for several navigation programs that could augment the existing Galileo system, including a demonstration of a low Earth orbit satellite navigation constellation. Credit: ESA ...

The European Space Agency said Thursday that it is using artificial intelligence for satellite navigation. The engineering teams of the agency's NAVISP program are working with European industry and ...

A new study reveals advanced methods for improving orbit determination (OD) of large constellations of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, utilizing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ...

THE PHRASE “critical infrastructure” conjures up solidly earthbound images: road and rail networks, water and sewage pipes, electricity grids, the internet, and so on. Such stuff is so wound into the ...

With satellite signals unavailable, navigation apps stopped functioning properly, ride-hailing services struggled, food deliveries slowed, and drones were forced to stay grounded.
