Interstellar Technologies tests the PNT capabilities of its ZERO satellite launch vehicle

Interstellar Technologies is a Japanese start-up that operates in the growing LEO and commercial space segment. It delivers launch services for small satellites, offering a cost-effective and high-performance solution to organisations looking to take advantage of the benefits of LEO orbits.

Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) are critical elements of the function of a launch vehicle, and its ability to deliver its payload into orbit as required. To deliver the level of service required, ZERO will use a custom navigation system comprising a bespoke GNSS receiver and inertial sensor integration.
