Plug-and-play onboard navigation software enabling autonomous orbit determination and guidance for satellites and constellations. No ground input required, seamless integration.
NaviGate develops an advanced onboard solution for autonomous satellite navigation and guidance. Our system integrates seamlessly with satellite hardware, processing GNSS data, radiometric observables, and other measurements in real-time.
As the number of satellites in orbit grows, ground-based navigation becomes economically and operationally unsustainable. NaviGate eliminates that dependency, enabling spacecraft to determine their own orbit and maneuver autonomously.
Scalable, adaptable, and sensor-agnostic, our onboard navigation software works across mission profiles and orbital regimes.
Flexible architecture processes GNSS, inter-satellite, optical, and other measurement types, adapting to available sensor payloads.
Precise orbit determination and guidance computation onboard, with no dependency on ground-segment interventions.
Designed as a drop-in module that integrates seamlessly with existing satellite hardware and mission architectures.
Scales from single satellites to large constellations, supporting inter-satellite navigation and cooperative orbit determination.
Operates across LEO, MEO, GEO, and deep-space mission profiles with dynamically reconfigurable navigation models.
Minimizes ground-segment operational costs by eliminating the need for continuous Earth-based tracking and commands.
Built with a clear vision: make autonomous navigation accessible to every satellite mission.
With the increasing number of satellites in orbit, relying on ground-based support for navigation operations is becoming economically and operationally unsustainable, especially for low-cost missions.
We enable autonomous navigation and guidance through a highly adaptable onboard software that analyzes available data in real-time, processing multiple measurement types without ground dependency.
An advanced onboard solution for autonomous satellite navigation and guidance, designed to seamlessly integrate with different mission architectures and flexible with respect to data types.
