📡 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 tasks require 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 solutions. Here's what we mean by complex: ✔️ Full spacecraft verification. ✔️ 220 square metres of phased-array antennas with thousands of elements. ✔️ Inspecting antenna locations, star tracker positioning, QV-to-azimuth alignments, and critical alignment features across an entire vehicle. This was the challenge that AST SpaceMobile was facing. 💡 The solution? 🔁 SpatialAnalyzer+Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800 & AT960. This combination of Hexagon's software and hardware provided a metrology foundation built for 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆, and 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. AST SpaceMobile standardised metrology operations on SpatialAnalyzer, transforming measurement from a production bottleneck into an enabler for spacecraft verification. And its well-prepared for future growth. Hexagon’s metrology solutions allow them to scale production, reduce cycle times, and pursue next-generation advances in satellite manufacturing.
