What's the session about?
Neutron stars known as pulsars have long been recognised for their highly regular pulse profiles, with millisecond accuracy. This session will explore the possibilities of applying these natural stellar clocks to navigation and timing systems, including GNSS, lunar navigation and satellite atomic clock calibration.
Hope is passionate about advancing modern design approaches and machine learning capability across the defence, space and aviation industries to enable safer, higher-performing complex remote systems.
