Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS placing remedies, is sustaining environment research study combined with the Royal Observatory of Belgium by furnishing 2 Belgian travelers with the current GPS/GNSS modern technology for collection of exact placing information. This information will certainly aid construct an accurate altitude account of the Greenland Ice Sheet in addition to to adjust existing altitude designs, which are based upon satellite altimetry. In enhancement, the multi-frequency capacity of the AsteRx-SB receiver will certainly make it possible for tracking of the ionospheric task in addition to Galileo signals at high latitudes.
“The AsteRx-SB receiver provides accurate and reliable positioning data even in the world’s harshest environments. Data collected during this first-of-a-kind expedition will help research of arctic ice caps, ionospheric activity and other topics,” stated Dr Nicolas Bergeot, Time-Ionosphere area of the Royal Observatory of Belgium.
The exploration is called Nanok, which is an Inuit word for polar bear. The travelers, Gilles Denis as well as Nathan Goffart, began the triathlon with a 600 kilometres of ski with a pulk sled along theArctic Circle The 2nd component of the triathlon is a 1000 kilometres sea kayak along the Greenland eastern coastline, as well as ultimately there is a 1 kilometres upright rock climb for the opening of a brand-new path. The AsteRx-SB receiver as well as the PolaNt-x MF antenna is going along with the travelers for the entire trip. For even more info concerning Septentrio receivers call the Septentrio group.
