CROSS

Secure, Sustainable, Next Generation Navigation

CROSS is redefining the autonomous navigation landscape. A resarch group based on demonstrated and published research from the University of Sydney, we are developing advanced optical navigation sensors that cover domains from terrestrial to deep space. Our technologies include the provision of star, horizon, celestial and space domain awareness sensors that provide an accurate, secure and sustainable navigation picture of the satellite and its surroundings. Australian made and owned, CROSS provides a space capability to serve both national and international markets using a low cost and modular approach.

What we do...

Accurate

Advanced navigation solutions using optical-based and RF-free navigation sensors

Secure

Providing redundancy for RF-based positioning systems susceptible to jamming and spoofing

Sustainable

Enabling detection of space debris and preventing satellite failure through redudant PNT capabilities

Multi-Domain

Operating autonomously for terrestrial, LEO, GEO, Lunar, and deep space domains

Design Values

Novel Software

Developing novel algorithms for increased performance and robustness

Customisable Layout

Flexible approach to allow sensor to be adaptable to architecture and mission

Small Form Factor

Designed for compatibility from CubeSats to medium- to large-satellite classes

Low Cost
