Alexandru Mihai Lăpădat, Jan Kodet from TUM and Prof. Dr. Thomas Pany presented a poster about a ultra-precise GNSS Pseudolite Transmission Chain (first results)

During the 22nd – 24th of May the European Navigation Conference (ENC) took place at the ESA ESTEC site in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Contributing with one presentation and two posters, Mohamed Bochkati and Florian Binder from the Institute of Space Applications and Space Technology were present at the conference, presenting results of the projects of HAND-CD, GOOSE - VTL and WESIS - β. The full papers will be found in the Conference proceedings after release. For more Information about the conference, click here.

A measurement campaign was initiated to test a navigation system developed by UniBwM, RWTH Aachen University and Work Microwave GmbH that supports the user in environments with low visibility of satellites

„Prof. Jong-Hoon Won and Prof. Pany published a special issue on the topic …”

Rewarding closure of a 4-year project related to highly accurate positioning using key sensor technologies for autonomous driving

During the calendar week of April 24-28, the institute is participating in the ION/IEEE PLANS 2023, a peer-reviewed conference, held in Monterey USA, with three research publications

After the disruption from the Covid outbreak, the institute organized the 19th Munich Satellite Navigation Summit to bring the GNSS community under the same roof. The event took place from March 13-15th, 2023 with nearly 450 attendees, it was a big success.

Am 9. November hat (Dr.) Ronny Blum seine Promotionsprüfung erfolgreich abgelegt. Der Titel seiner Dissertation lautet: "State of the art of GNSS spoofing and spoofing detection with new receiver based defense strategies and experimental validation". Wir gratulieren herzlich!

Das Institut ist in diesem Jahr zum ersten mal auf der FUSION 2022 vertreten. Die internationale Konferenz findet vom 4. bis 7. Juli in Linköping, Schweden statt.

The Institute of Space Technology and Space Applications contributed five papers and corresponding presentations to the this year's ION GNSS+ conference in Denver, Colorado

Prof. Jong-Hoon Won from INHA University in South Korea and students of his laboratory visit our Institute this summer (23.06.-06.08.2022) to establish possible topics for collaboration.

ISTA has set up a new high-tech inertial laboratoy, which enables the calibration of all IMU sensor classes!!!

In disem Projekt arbeitet unser Institut zusammen mit dem Bundesamt für Kartografie und Geodäsie (BKG) in Wettzell. Es soll eine Monitoringstation für GNSS Signale am Standort Wettzell aufgebaut werden. Die Software wird von unserem Institut entwickelt.

Ever Imagined that a small paper clip can acquire a GNSS Signal, which actually is useful? We have an answer for you. At ISTA we have developed a Paper Clip Antenna capable of GNSS Positioning!

Auch dieses Jahr gab es eine zahlreiche Teilnahme unserer wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der Corona-bedingten teils virtuell gestalteten ION Konferenz in St.Louis, MO, USA vom 20.-24.9.21

Vom 23. bis 26. April 2018 vertritt der wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter Daniel Maier das Institut auf der internationalen Konferenz IEEE/ION PLANS in Monterey, Kalifornien, USA.

Have doubts about your Smartphone GNSS capabilities? Want to know how good is your Smartphone GNSS raw data and sensors quality for your planned Android Applications? Or confused with measurement setup idea for performing RTK solution with a Smartphone?

Since November 28th 2020, the navigation authentication data has been transmitted through the Galileo Open Service (OS) signal. This is the first open service GNSS signal ever to provide authentication service, namely Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA). We are participating in the evaluation that is taking currently ongoing and are capable of evaluating the authentication service that is being provided.

In the field of deep space exploration, sending probes to planets, moons and asteroids are getting more attention in order to understand the origin of the universe, the assessment of possible existence of forms of life –apart from those on the Earth–, and the possibility of establishing colonies in the solar system. One crucial task of those spacecraft is to ensure the autonomy of operating in the vicinities of those celestial bodies. Hence, we are proposing a new concept for autonomous navigation of an asteroid lander.
