Interesting article in recent Inside GNSS+. (Jul/Aug2025) Article is mostly ad dressed up as serious tech report. However, it makes reference to "next-generation celestial navigation technologies that aim to strengthen GPS resilience." Goes on referring to "Handheld Celestial Systems. These systems use a small, stabilized optical payload....allowing celestial fixes even in daylight....Early testing has demonstrated reliable detection of stars up to magitude 1.25." I'm interested in NavList insights to same.
