GMV represents a new era in exploring the automatic moon with lupine

After conducting field tests from April 27 to May 8 in the municipality of La Oliva (Fuerteventura), technology is multinationals GMV The lupine project has just presented (High performance Pnt empowerment in the lunar environmentIt is an innovative initiative from the European Space Agency (ESA) aimed at developing a preliminary model of the navigation system to simulate future signs that are expected to receive capabilities on the moon. It is a navigation system similar to the GPS (GPS) for use on the moon, which will allow users, such as Ribers or astronauts, and they have a similar transport tool for Google Maps.

In a context of renewed interest in exploring the moon, the development of advanced technologies that support the activity of multiplication and landing units and even the human presence on the surface of the moon has become a strategic priority for the space industry. In this context, ESA strengthens this pioneering project within the framework of the NAVISP support and navigation program, which will prove new location, mobility and time synchronization (PNT) to explore and moon surface applications. These technologies will combine the current PNT p outlines with future LCNS distance signals (Lunar communication navigation system), Satellite signals that will be used in the same way that GPS signals are used on Earth, but with satellites in orbit around the moon and adapting them to different areas of interest (for example, the southern lunar pole, hidden face or permanent shade areas).

The current lunar navigation capabilities face important restrictions. Unlike Earth, the moon does not have an infrastructure for the satellite like GPS. This means that the ships and the parks cannot locate their location accurately in the actual time, but they should rely on the internal accounts and data sent from the ground. To overcome these barriers, GMV has evolved for ESA the initial model of Lunar Lupine. This technology will revolutionize the way astronauts and vehicles work on the moon during the next decade. LUPINE will reduce dependence on the complex site algorithms on the plane, which improves the performance and efficiency of exploration vehicles on the moon.

This progress will not only improve accuracy, but also allows faster and more efficient paths, while reducing the arithmetic load for mobility. As a result, the speed restrictions of the penis will be determined mainly through the conditions of the Earth, instead of technical restrictions, which represent the beginning of a new era in the lunar lunar exploration.

During the campaign implemented in Fuerteventura, the real navigation system was verified in the actual time and validated it through various tests representing the terms of the future LCNS signals to determine the location of the river and the exact location on the moon.

In the law developed in Lajares Lucha Terro, the mayor of Oliva, ISAí Blanco, the most prominent “honor assumed by the City Council in Oliva to host an innovative initiative such as this project.

For the Minister of Innovation Cabildo de Fuerteventura, Rayco León, the island has proven to be a reference in air space technology, with important projects such as those that are promoted from the technological park in Fuentora and that diversify the economy in specialized fields. Therefore, it is important for projects to continue to develop in the field of innovation and that Fuerteventura is the scene of an initiative like that introduction today.

Mariella Graziano, Director of Strategy and Business Development for Science, Exploration and Transfer of GMV, and Stephen Kai, responsible for the GMV lupine project, was responsible for explaining field tests and details. According to Stephen Kai, “It has been successfully collected more than 7 km of travel data at different speeds, from 0.2 m/s to future fast speeds of 1.0 m/s. Likewise, different circumstances and types of lunar environments have been simulated, including brightness in the tour, including an annual, including an annual tour in the tour, including the notes that you enjoy. Work has been worked hard in performance tests Fuerteventura to support the development of a possible PNT system for the user sector that is able to provide accurate information about the site for future lunar missions.

Current lunar navigation techniques and restrictions against land systems such as Google Maps

Lunar exploration has developed significantly since the first Aloniza in the twentieth century. Dismits like NASA Artemis, stereotypes Changing From China or Chandraian India uses advanced techniques to move in the moon. However, these capabilities are far from providing liquidity and accuracy that we test on the ground with applications such as Google Maps.

Moon missions use a mixture of self -insufficiency navigation systems (INS), optical rooms, lidar sensors, and digital maps created by satellite in orbit. These maps allow the planning methods with relative accuracy, identifying obstacles and areas of scientific attention, as well as implementing the margins of the margins with an increasingly reduced error.

In addition, some stereotypes face with limited self -navigation, using computer vision algorithms to compare the ground in actual time with pre -stored maps. This technology is especially useful when there is a delay in communications with the Earth or when areas of the hidden side of the moon are explored.

On the other hand, although lunar mapping has improved significantly, it remains incomplete and fixed. There are no real updates or information about land changes resulting from modern effects or moving movements. Communication depends on the direct vision with the Earth or the use of satellites for re -transmission in the orbit of the moon, which generates areas of communication shadow and cumin times that hinder immediate decision -making.

On the contrary, systems such as Google Maps work thanks to the GPS, continuous mobile connection, and millions of dynamic devices and updates. We can know our exact location immediately, receive severity accuracy indicators and access environmental information such as traffic, services or changes in the field. These functions require a planetary infrastructure that is not simply found on the moon.
