Irish Space Navigation System manufacturer Innalabs® ARIETIS-NS space navigation system will play a key role in the upcoming launch of Airbus’ latest generation CO3D satellites, a high-profile collaboration between Airbus and the French Space Agency (CNES).
The launch is scheduled later today aboard an Arianespace Vega-C rocket.
The Innalabs ARIETIS-NS system provides radiation-tolerant, high-precision inertial navigation, supporting the satellites’ critical attitude control and mission stability functions.
“Being part of this project marks a proud milestone for Innalabs and for Irish engineering in space,” said John O’Leary, CEO of Innalabs. “We are honoured to contribute to this cutting-edge programme that is setting new standards in satellite performance and innovation.”
