Craft has announced its investment in Xona Space Systems' Series B, totaling $150 million, to support their low Earth orbit satellite network providing precise positioning and navigation.
Xona aims to revolutionize navigation technology, currently reliant on decades-old GPS satellites 20,000 kilometers above Earth, by offering a more accurate and reliable solution.
Xona's Pulsar constellation, with satellites flying closer to Earth and transmitting stronger signals, will offer centimeter-scale accuracy and compatibility with existing GPS chips through a firmware update.
Xona's founders, with experience at companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, possess the expertise and vision to address navigation challenges, with the recent launch of their first commercial satellite, Pulsar-0, marking a significant milestone.
