Orbit

The Aerium Orbit is a single-band GNSS module, powered by the u-blox NEO-M9N, delivering L1 precision, reliable satellite acquisition, and robust performance in a wide range of environments. Paired with the ST LIS3MDL magnetometer, it provides accurate heading and orientation data to complement its positioning capabilities. Fully compatible with Pixhawk autopilots, Aerium Orbit is engineered for unmanned applications where compact design, reliable performance, and cost-effectiveness are essential.
