Purpose

The project will demonstrate the benefits enabled by a new generation of commercial position, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellites developed by Xona Space Systems. Ionospheric space weather, especially in the Canadian Arctic, can produce severe degradation of navigation and communications capability over land, sea and air. Xona’s powerful signals coupled with large satellite constellation size will produce an unprecedented quantity of high-quality radionavigation data that can be exploited in the domains of remote sensing and Earth Observation. By incorporating ionospheric data extracted from these new Xona signals, the project aims to improve the current state-of-the-art in real-time ionospheric sensing models.
