SAN FRANCISCO – Northern California startup iMetalX Inc. Emerged from stealth to announce a collaboration with Psionic, a Hampton, Virginia, company focused on autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments.
Pairing Psionic's Space Navigation Dopper Lidar with iMetalX's Asgard data and simulation platform offers customers the ability to create accurate 3D models of resident space objects (RSOs) within minutes, Nehal Gajjar, iMetalX founder and CEO, told SpaceNews.
"We've got high-fidelity, high-integrity data that provides a full RSO characterization and Psionic has the sensing capabilities," Gajjar said. "Together, we can deliver high-speed, precise navigation for autonomous operations.
