Xona Space Systems

Xona Space Systems is a California-based startup founded in 2019 that is developing PULSAR, the world’s first commercial satellite navigation service operating in low Earth orbit (LEO). Using a constellation of small, low-cost satellites, Xona provides high-precision (centimeter-level) and secure positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) through patented signal designs and an innovative distributed clock architecture. This system delivers significantly stronger signals, faster convergence, and enhanced resistance to jamming and spoofing compared to traditional GPS. The company has launched successful on-orbit demonstrators like Huginn and has secured substantial venture funding, including a $19 million Series A round. With partnerships and contracts including work with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, Xona targets critical applications in autonomous vehicles, drones, defense systems, and industrial automation. -Generated by AI
