AeroAtoms Orbit SAM¶
Overview¶
The AeroAtoms Orbit SAM is an ultra-compact GNSS module designed for ArduPilot-compatible vehicles. It integrates the u-blox SAM-M10Q GNSS receiver with an onboard IST8310 magnetometer, providing reliable positioning and heading information for multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOLs, and ground vehicles.
Orbit SAM supports concurrent reception of GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS constellations while maintaining very low power consumption, making it suitable for compact and battery-powered unmanned systems.
