AeroAtoms Orbit Neo / Neo Plus RTK¶
Overview¶
The AeroAtoms Orbit Neo family consists of high-precision DroneCAN GNSS modules designed for ArduPilot-compatible vehicles. Both Orbit Neo and Orbit Neo Plus integrate the u-blox ZED-F9P multi-band GNSS receiver with onboard magnetometer and barometer, providing centimeter-level RTK positioning for multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOLs, and ground vehicles.
Orbit Neo Plus extends the Orbit Neo platform by adding Moving Baseline support for dual-antenna heading, an STM32H743 microcontroller, integrated LNA + SAW filtering, EMI shielding, and an upgraded barometer, providing improved heading estimation and GNSS performance in demanding RF environments.
