The Leica TS20 embodies decades of industry-leading expertise in measurement technologies delivering precision and accuracy surveyors can rely on even in demanding conditions.

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced the launch of the all-new Leica TS20 robotic total station. Designed and engineered from the ground up with a deep understanding of surveyors' workflows, this total station accelerates fieldwork, simplifies daily work, streamlines repetitive tasks and avoids costly mistakes. Embodying Leica Geosystemsโ€™ leading surveying expertise and building on more than two centuries of innovating for this industry, the TS20 also incorporates insights gained directly from surveying practitioners to ensure it is specifically tailored to their real-world needs.

A Neural Processing Unit (NPU) powers edge AI, enabling the Leica TS20 to optimise workflows autonomously, identify potential mistakes before they happen, and ensure reliable measurements while safeguarding data privacy. AI-powered target search and automatic target recognition (ATR) enable the TS20 to automatically search, aim, and measure even in adverse weather conditions like rain or mist, or when working with reflective tapes. AI-Detect recognises the target type and alerts surveyors when their target does not match the type they selected in the software. AI-Follow (available as a software update post-launch) saves time by following the Leica AP20 AutoPole even when the line of sight is interrupted.

Astroscale Holdings, the provider of satellite servicing and long-term orbital sustainability across all orbits, announced it has signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with High Earth Orbit Robotics Pty (โ€œHEOโ€), a provider of non-Earth imaging and space-based space domain awareness (SDA).

The agreement deepens an existing partnership to develop and deliver critical capabilities for monitoring, assessing and ultimately servicing allied defense, government and commercial assets, contributing to the shared vision of a secure and sustainable space ecosystem.

Much like how traffic cameras and roadside assistance keep highways clear, Astroscale and HEO are building the tools to track, manage and service spacecraft in orbit, enhancing the resilience of satellites that underpin daily life on Earth, from GPS navigation and national defense operations to weather forecasting.

This new memorandum extends collaboration from low Earth orbit into geostationary and geostationary transfer orbits, where many defense and government satellites operate. Together, Astroscale and HEO aim to enhance the inspection and characterization of space objects, develop catalogs of candidate debris clients, and refine operational concepts to support safe and efficient on-orbit servicing missions for allied nations.

1Spatial, a global provider Location Master Data Management (LMDM) software and solutions, announced it has signed a US$1.7m annually renewing Enterprise Agreement (โ€œEAโ€) with the California Department of Transportation (โ€œCaltransโ€).

Caltrans is the state agency responsible for the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of Californiaโ€™s transportation infrastructure. It oversees more than 50,000 miles of roads and plays a central role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across California. 1Spatialโ€™s technology underpins Caltransโ€™ long term data governance strategy.

Caltrans initially engaged 1Spatial six years ago to utilise its LMDM platform including 1Integrate and 1Datagateway to check data quality, which it did more efficiently and effectively than prior solutions. During the six-year tenure, 1Spatial has broadened and deepened the relationship, building trust in the 1Spatial platform which is now used for data governance (validating, integrating and synchronising key databases) across multiple systems and programmes. These include Transport Asset Management Systems, the Transport Systems Network Revamp project and Local Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) systems, establishing a complete and maintained Road Centerline database as part of the California Roads Sharing (CaRS) Program.

1Spatial has steadily increased the deployment of licences over the past six years through multiple bilateral software licence agreements. The entry into an annually renewing EA consolidates these software licences into one easier to procure and maintain arrangement which allows the State to deploy additional 1Spatial technology as and when it requires. The EA will review licences used annually and โ€˜true upโ€™ the licences used in the EA for the following year. The EA includes approximately US$500k of incremental licence revenues compared to the previous year, the majority of which has been deployed by Caltrans over the period to July 2025. The Company expects a further step up in FY27. 1Spatial will continue to work collaboratively with Caltrans to identify additional areas where the technology can be deployed.

Advanced Navigationโ€™s LUNA Sensor Exceeds Mission Benchmarks in Grueling Earth Trials, Advancing to Final Space Qualification

In a pivotal step towards autonomous lunar exploration, global navigation provider Advanced Navigation has announced the successful completion of the critical terrestrial validation for its LUNA (Laser measurement Unit for Navigation Aid) sensor.

During a series of punishing, Moon-like trials on Earth, the LUNA sensor not only proved its core functionality but also exceeded the demanding performance requirements set by its commercial lunar surface delivery provider, Intuitive Machines, for its upcoming IM-4 mission, which includes NASA payloads. This achievement clears the path for LUNA to enter the final stage of space qualification.

โ€œFor decades, landing on the Moon has meant flying with only partial vision in the final kilometres," said Chris Shaw, CEO and Co-founder of Advanced Navigation.

"With no GPS to guide them, landers depend on a combination of sensors that can introduce drift or deliver incomplete data - turning every descent into a high-stakes calculation where a single error could mean mission failure.โ€

โ€œOur LUNA sensor aims to give lunar landers and rovers hyper-accurate โ€˜laser visionโ€™ to see their own speed and position in the darkness of space, potentially making crashes a thing of the past and paving the way for safe, autonomous exploration. The technology delivers the predictability, reliability, and precision missions need.โ€

The lunar South Pole is marked by deep, permanently shadowed craters that never receive direct sunlight, creating extreme darkness. Intuitive Machinesโ€™ IM-4 Nova-C class lander is scheduled to land there in 2027 under NASAโ€™s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, including Advanced Navigationโ€™s LUNA sensor. Demonstrated performance has given the mission a high degree of confidence moving forward.

RIEGL was recently featured in a compelling episode of The 3rd Dimension YouTube series, hosted by Shea Gleadle, where the spotlight was placed on the innovative capabilities of the RIEGL VZ-600i terrestrial laser scanner, specifically its kinematic mode.

The episode offered a hands-on look at how the RIEGL VZ-600i is redefining mobile laser scanning, and the results were nothing short of remarkable.

The full video is available now on The 3rd Dimensionโ€™s YouTube channel, well worth a watch for anyone interested in high-performance mobile scanning.

*Precision on the Move
In the video, Shea joined Tanner Dutton of RIEGL USA at a testing site location in Winter Garden, FL to explore the RIEGL VZ-600iโ€™s ability to operate without a tripod. Mounted on a backpack rig, the scanner captured the exterior of a multi-level parking structure in two passes, one in radar mode and one in fixed-frame mode. Despite light rain and wet surfaces, the scan was completed in under 15 minutes, producing a dense and highly detailed dataset.

โ€œSheaโ€™s YouTube channel, The 3rd Dimension, is such a valuable resource for our industry.โ€ said Tanner Dutton, RIEGL USA Customer Success Manager. โ€œI really appreciate how he dives deep into topics that often donโ€™t get much attention elsewhere, and the level of detail in his analysis is always top-notch. When I had the chance to showcase the VZ-600i kinematic application with him, I knew the process would be thorough and insightful. My hope is that the audience found the video both educational and useful, and that it helps more people see the potential of the VZ-600i kinematic workflow.โ€

The RIEGL VZ-600iโ€™s kinematic mode enables data capture at speeds of up to 25 km/h, with a staggering 2.2 million points per second. This allows users to cover large areas quickly while maintaining exceptional point cloud fidelity.
