Qascom S.R.L. (IT) has successfully delivered the final presentation of the NAVISP-EL2-081 – MOOD (Moon testbed) project, marking the culmination of a multi-year effort to develop a cutting-edge GNSS simulation testbed for lunar, cislunar and space-based PNT applications.
For this purpose, Qascom upgraded its QA707 GNSS simulator introducing advanced features such as lunar-specific ranging strategies, support for multiple coordinate reference systems, custom signal transmitters (including LunaNet AFS), and a 3D Viewer for real-time scenario visualization. It also integrates BeiDou B1C signal simulation and dual-frequency RF streaming capabilities.
Key achievements include successful validation of LunaNet and BeiDou signals, implementation of Moon Principal Axis (Moon-PA) ranging, and integration with open-source and COTS receivers. The simulator has already supported the project NAVISP-EL1-062 – DEMOS-1(Lunar Surface PNT Beacon Demonstrator) and is now Qascom’s flagship GNSS simulation product.
Looking ahead, Qascom plans to enhance QA707 with direct dual-frequency RF output and integration with SDR hardware, being developed under the project NAVISP-EL2-090 – JNRS (Joint Navigation Radio System).
The project was supported through NAVISP Element 2 for PNT competitiveness for European industry. The slides of this final presentation can be found here.
