The Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA) has awarded a contract to SFL Missions to develop the AISSat-4 maritime ship tracking microsatellite for launch in less than one year.

AISSat-4 is needed to expand operational capacity in Norway’s maritime situational awareness network.

AISSat-4 is being developed on SFL’s SPARTAN 6U nanosatellite platform and will carry a single payload – a miniaturized Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver built by Kongsberg Seatex of Trondheim, Norway. The SPARTAN bus is space proven with 18 commercial communications satellites previously deployed using this platform.

SFL Missions is uniquely prepared to develop AISSat-4 on an accelerated schedule. Additionally, the SPARTAN platform relies on heritage hardware and software and is easily tailored to accommodate the AIS receiver and antennas.

“We have extensive experience in implementing AIS missions, and therefore we have the expertise and design heritage needed to implement the AISSat-4 mission on a short schedule,” said Dr. Robert E. Zee, SFL Missions Director and CEO.

More broadly, he added, SFL Missions Inc. has the capacity to work on many satellite missions concurrently, and since the team is vertically integrated, it maintains full control over the subsystem and spacecraft level assembly, integration, and testing schedules.

The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has announced the launch of Galileo’s new OSNMA authentication service.

The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has announced the launch of Galileo’s new open authentication service, OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication).

The European GNSS Service Centre (GSC) at INTA’s facilities in Torrejón de Ardoz will generate and send the authentication messages to the Galileo ground mission segment. Alongside the High Accuracy Service (HAS), OSNMA is a key value-added feature of the Galileo constellation, providing a significant edge over other satellite navigation systems like the American GPS and Russian GLONASS.

GMV and INDRA have been working with EUSPA for the provision of the GSC infrastructure for several years in which the OSNMA development has been performed. GMV was also responsible for developing the infrastructure necessary for Galileo’s High Accuracy Service (HAS), which has been operational since January 2023.

Positioning signals transmitted in the clear often lack mechanisms to verify their authenticity, making it relatively easy to produce fraudulent replicas intended to deceive applications such as GNSS-based timestamping of financial transactions or calculating and recording position and time in digital tachographs.

The new OSNMA service enables signals transmitted by the system to be digitally signed, ensuring that Galileo is secure for applications like these. This service allows users to verify that the navigation data they receive is genuinely from the Galileo system and has not been spoofed or tampered with, thereby enhancing the system’s value for its users.

The Catalan Minister of the Presidency, Albert Dalmau, has visited the manufacture of the 6GStarLab satellite, a pioneering project promoted by the i2CAT Research Centre dedicated to research and open innovation in non-terrestrial networks.

The 6GStarLab, a pioneering project led by i2CAT, will focus on the research and development of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and enable the experimental validation of new communication technologies in a real space environment. It is the first satellite of its kind to be promoted across Europe. It will be an open and flexible testbed that will allow the remote deployment and ex*****on of experiments, fostering innovation in an emerging ecosystem that works towards interconnection between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks.

Non-terrestrial networks utilise nodes, such as satellites or high-altitude platforms, to transmit information. They are crucial because they complement terrestrial networks, extending connectivity to remote or isolated regions where traditional infrastructure cannot reach. This integration creates hybrid networks that improve communications performance and provide a seamless user experience. They are fundamental to bridging the digital divide, providing access to essential services on a global scale and making a key contribution to advanced 5G and future 6G.

To make this project a reality, i2CAT has awarded a public contract to Open Cosmos for a value of € 1.65 million. The award covers the design, manufacture, integration, launch and commissioning of the 6GStarLab satellite. The manufacture of the satellite is currently taking place in the Open Cosmos clean room, a controlled environment where rigorous testing is carried out to ensure optimal performance before launch and deployment into orbit. The satellite is scheduled for launch in the last quarter of this year and is expected to be operational for research purposes in early 2026.
