Towards nano-g sensing for high-precision orbital manoeuvres

A.K. Dokoupil(1), M.G. Beker (1), T. Peters (1), H.L.M. Heeres(1), A. Bertolini (2) For autonomous positioning and navigation, high-accuracy inertial sensor data is needed. Low-cost micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS)-based inertial measurement units (IMUs) available today do not provide the required level of accuracy. We present a novel MEMS accelerometer that provides acceleration data with ultra-low noise levels. The […]

Innoseis ST represented at the ESA GNC AND ICATT 2023

Innoseis sensor technologies its technology development VP Aran Dokoupil showcasing our latest MEMS accelerometer at the ESA GNC AND ICATT 2023! Our new MEMS accelerometer provides acceleration data with ultra-low noise levels. This sensor has significant advantages for satellite positioning, as demonstrated by simulations on low-thrust orbital manoeuvres. With this new technology, we can achieve greater […]
