The convergence of scientific inquiry and adventurous pursuits is exemplified by the Nanok Arctic expedition

Septentrio is a leading global provider of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) solutions, specialising in high-precision positioning technology for demanding applications. The company's products are used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, geographic mapping, precision agriculture, unmanned vehicles, marine navigation, and scientific exploration.

The Septentrio AsteRx SB receiver is one of the company's high-performance GNSS receivers with multi-band reception capability, capable of simultaneously receiving and processing signals from multiple satellite systems, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. This multi-system compatibility gives the AsteRx SB a significant advantage in delivering highly accurate positioning data, especially in urban canyons, forests or polar regions where satellite signals may be blocked or interfered with.

Features of the AsteRx SB receiver include:
Highly accurate positioning: provides centimetre-level positioning accuracy for scientific research and engineering applications requiring precise data.
Multi-band reception: capable of receiving signals in multiple frequency bands, enhancing performance in complex environments.
Ruggedised: designed to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity and shock, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Measurement: Supports real time kinematic measurement technology, which provides accurate position corrections in real time.

Integrated Ionospheric Monitoring: Built-in ionospheric monitoring helps to improve positioning accuracy and reliability.

The AsteRx SB receiver played a key role in the expedition of Gilles Denis and Nathan Goffat. Not only did it help them to accurately record their path across Greenland, but it also provided the Royal Observatory of Belgium with valuable data for research into ice sheet changes, ionospheric activity and elevation model calibration.

Septentrio supported this scientifically significant expedition with its advanced technology and products, demonstrating its expertise in the field of GNSS and its support for scientific exploration.
