Relative navigation
GNSS, inter-satellite ranging, orbit determination, and baseline reconstruction.
Technology roadmap
From enabling technologies to an operational array.
The Space Array initiative connects science requirements to the technologies needed for formation-flying interferometry in space.
Time and frequency
Clock stability, synchronization, phase transfer, and calibration architectures.
Receivers
Millimetre and sub-millimetre receiver technologies suitable for space operation.
Data transport
Optical links, onboard storage, compression, and downlink strategies.
Correlation
On-ground and distributed correlation architectures for long-baseline observations.
Imaging
Calibration, sparse arrays, dynamic imaging, and high-fidelity reconstruction.
