"ESA Contracts Thales Alenia Space for Radar Instrument Development on Earth Explorer Harmony Satellites"
TL;DR Summary
The European Space Agency has awarded contracts worth 233.4 million euros for its FutureNAV program, including missions called Genesis and LEO-PNT. Genesis, led by OHB Italia, aims to improve the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) with a suite of instruments, while LEO-PNT, led by GMV Aerospace and Defence and Thales Alenia Space, will test the feasibility of a low Earth orbit satellite constellation to enhance positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. These missions are part of ESA's efforts to meet the growing demand for more resilient and precise navigation systems.
