About us
SpacePNT is an innovative, high performance GNSS receiver/transceiver maker for the fast-growing satellite market, developing technologies to deliver industry’s first autonomous PNT (Positioning, Navigation & Timing) capability with sub-decimeter positioning and sub-nanosecond timing accuracy for LEO constellations and highest signal reception sensitivity for GEO to Moon missions, all in real-time through its unique radiation tolerant technology.
SpacePNT works as an agile company, with a permanent core of talented people with many years of experience in their respective domains that have entirely developed its proprietary hardware and software technological platform.
Our Applications
Our Solutions
NaviLEO
SpacePNT has developed NaviLEO, a high performance GNSS receiver platform designed to meet the most stringent needs and challenges of the New Space market, achieving <10 cm positioning and < 1ns timing accuracy autonomously and in real-time.
NaviMoon
NaviMoon is SpacePNT’s advanced ultra-high-sensitivity and autonomous GNSS receiver solution delivering <100 m accuracy at Moon altitude and removing the reliance on costly Earth station infrastructures for Moon missions.
NaviGEO
NaviGEO is SpacePNT’s high performance solution for launcher upper stages and in-orbit servicing vehicles, with optional dual-antenna support for optimal GNSS visibility from LEO to GEO, no matter the attitude.
SimORBIT
SimORBIT, SpacePNT LEO Library, and SpacePNT Lunar Library are high-accuracy orbital modeling software and software libraries for LEO and Lunar satellite simulations, bringing a new level of accuracy and realism to LEO and Lunar application testing.
Technology Heritage
SpacePNT’s GNSS receiver technology has flight heritage and has been selected by ESA, major space agencies, and commercial operators worldwide for missions in LEO, MEO, GEO and cislunar space – including ISS, SAR satellites, ESA Genesis satellite mission, and the ESA/SSTL Lunar Pathfinder mission.
