B blue P O L A R I S sextants measure star locations to get coordinates P O L A R I S a more convenient navigation backup function as a typical sextant eliminate need for tables/calculations power independent P O L A R I S

  1. B blue P O L A R I S

  2. sextants measure star locations to get coordinates

  3. P O L A R I S a more convenient navigation backup function as a typical sextant eliminate need for tables/calculations power independent

  4. P O L A R I S a more convenient navigation backup function as a typical sextant eliminate need for tables/calculations power independent

  5. P O L A R I S a more convenient navigation backup function as a typical sextant eliminate need for tables/calculations power independent

  6. sailors have sextants onboard for emergencies

  7. but many sailors are rusty with celestial navigation

  8. What method can we use to read sextant angles? Can calculations be performed automatically?

  9. Live updating sextant calculator with continuous potentiometer input

  10. Can a solar-charged battery meet the power requirements long term? 10mA-h, 10 hours to charge

  11. GPS same functions can lose signal can lose power can be jammed

  12. 100,000 65,000 1800 1800 large merchant offshore sailing coast guard/ coast guard/ marine ships hobbyists navy ships navy ships + smaller vessels and teaching ships

  13. TARGET MARKET: 100,000 65,000 1800 1800 large merchant offshore sailing coast guard/ coast guard/ 200,000 ships marine ships hobbyists navy ships navy ships + smaller vessels and teaching ships

  14. future steps: - survey different power sources - additional angle/mirror sensing

  15. P O L A R I S simpler star guidance
