Positioning navigation and timing define the physics of our ability to explore space. From GNSSGlobal navigation satellite system (GNSS): A general term describing any satellite constellation that provides positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services on a global or regional basis. See also simulators to ensure mission safety to hermetically sealed gyroscopes on board to the atomic clocks orbiting the earth, Safran’s commitment to safer skies now extends to the heavens.

Over-the-Air Testing: Advancing PNT Resilience
For Safran, Jammertest 2023 was significant as Skydel facilitated the testing, simulation, and analysis of jamming and spoofing scenarios. Its advantage was its ability to create controlled, reproducible, and highly customizable RF (Radio Frequency) environments, enabling rigorous testing and evaluation of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) equipment and systems.
5 Reasons Why You Need to Simulate Over 1,000 GNSS Signals
This article explores the top 5 reasons why test engineers need to simulate more than 1,000 satellite signals. Simulating lots of signals allows engineers to replicate complex real-world scenarios accurately. It also ensures that the GPSGlobal Positioning System is a navigation satellite system. See also receiver equipment they are testing is robust and achieves top performance.
Enhancing Resilience: The Vital Role of GNSS Simulators in Testing of Autonomous Systems against Jamming
To ensure the resilience of autonomous systems against jamming and spoofing attacks, the use of GNSS simulators is critical.
Use Cases
GNSS Simulation for Space Launch Applications
Safran’s Skydel software simulates the trajectory of space vehicles as they launch and travel into orbit.
Case Studies
Rocket into Orbit with a GSG-8 Advanced GNSS Simulator
A major commercial aerospace manufacturer needed to launch small cube satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEOLEO - Low Earth Orbit. LEO refers to the orbit that most artificial satellites travel within. LEO is closer to earth compared to other satellite constellations such as GPS and GEO satellite systems. LEO is approximately 1,200 miles above Earth or less, meaning the satellites in this orbit travel at high speeds (i.e. 15,000 mph) and can orbit the Earth in less than 2 hours. Most human spaceflight missions have ocurred within LEO.) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), with small to medium sized payloads that supported Commercial Lunar Payload Services. Their goal was to simulate GNSS signals with their rockets, each of which had two antennas.
GSG-8 Advanced Simulator Ensures Critical Space Mission Readiness
An Orolia customer that provides solutions for national security missions needed two perfectly synchronized GPS simulators that could simulate two synchronized trajectories in space at the same time.
