GMV has recently reached an agreement with Hisdesat for becoming the provider of precise GNSS near real-time products, to be used within the Orbit Determination process of the PAZ satellite.

The PAZ satellite, launched on 22 February 2018, is owned and operated by Hisdesat and is based on the use of a high-resolution X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The PAZ satellite orbits the Earth in a LEO polar orbit of 514 km altitude, and its mission supports a wide number of applications, including Environmental monitoring, Protection of natural resources, Surface monitoring, City and infrastructure planning, Monitoring of natural catastrophes and high-resolution mapping, among others.

This agreement means a new achievement for GMV’s Correction Service, as it already provides near-real-time products for other LEO missions, namely, the METOP and Sentinel. GMV’s Correction Service has a relatively short commercial history, as it was first launched back in 2018. However, over the last 4 years, it has not only become the GNSS products’ provider for the 3 aforementioned LEO missions, but also the Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) corrections provider for companies operating in different markets, such as GNSS receivers manufacturing, Automotive, Offshore Survey & Construction, and Maritime, among others.
