Orolia Secures Galileo Contracts to Supply Clocks to 12 More Satellites
Orolia, a world leading positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions company, announced that its atomic clock solutions were selected for the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Orolia will provide two Spectratime Rubidium atomic clocks and two passive Hydrogen Masers to 12 additional Galileo satellites, under contracts totalling 26 million euros.
“We’re honoured to continue supporting the European Commission with precise timing for Galileo,” said Orolia CEO Jean-Yves Courtois. “These new contracts further emphasize Orolia’s position as the world’s leading provider of resilient positioning, timing and navigation (PNT) solutions.”
Over 150 Orolia atomic clocks are embedded in Galileo, IRNSS, BeiDou, GAIA and other missions, with their PNT solutions supporting defence, government, space, maritime, aviation and telecommunications applications.
Earlier this month Orolia also announced that Taiwan has selected its McMurdo Medium-altitude Earth Orbit Search and Rescue (MEOSAR) ground system to support its search and rescue missions. Orolia will deliver a McMurdo Medium-altitude Earth Orbit Local User Terminal (MEOLUT) system and two LEO/MEOLUT single-channel systems.
