AeroAtoms Orbit Nano X9 / X10¶
Overview¶
The AeroAtoms Orbit Nano X family consists of ultra-compact GNSS navigation modules designed for ArduPilot-compatible vehicles. Both Orbit Nano X9 and Orbit Nano X10 integrate an IST8310 magnetometer in a compact 28 × 28 mm form factor, providing reliable positioning for multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOLs, and ground vehicles.
Both modules utilize an integrated LNA + SAW filter for improved signal reception and interference rejection while communicating through a standard UART interface.
Orbit Nano X10 extends Orbit Nano X9 by incorporating the u-blox NEO-F10N dual-band GNSS receiver with L1/L5 reception and NavIC support, providing improved positioning accuracy and enhanced multipath mitigation.
