5 August 2025 – Astroscale announced an agreement to provide Xona Space Systems (“Xona”) with next-generation docking plates for integration into Xona’s growing constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The collaboration supports two critical goals: building a resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) infrastructure and keeping Earth’s orbit safe and sustainable. Xona is developing Pulsar, the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure based in LEO. Pulsar operates alongside legacy systems like GPS, delivering stronger signals, centimetre-level precision, and built-in protection against interference like jamming and spoofing. As threats to global navigation escalate, a more resilient and secure PNT architecture has become essential for national security, critical infrastructure, and connected devices around the world.
