The Space Foundation welcomed insightArthroVR, Moviloc, and SAGRAN, three of GMV's many space-based products, as Certified Space Technologies.

The Space Certification program was created by the Space Foundation, in cooperation with NASA, to raise awareness and understanding about the significant and practical benefits of technologies originally developed for the space program which have been adapted into products and services that improve life on Earth.

insightArthroVR is an arthroscopy surgery simulator that combines space image enhancement software, virtual reality, and computer-aided training techniques to provide surgeons with highly realistic training. Currently designed for shoulder and knee arthroscopy, it represents an invaluable complement to traditional training techniques to acquire and improve the skills needed for minimally invasive surgery.

Using satellite-based global positioning system (GPS) data, Moviloc is a complete fleet-tracking and management service providing tracking, route reports, and services to improve day-to-day running and fleet-investment decision-making, all on the basis of secure Internet access. Moviloc-BUS meets the need for a simple, Web-based fleet management system and has been fitted to more than 450 buses.

Also using GPS data, SAGRAN is a sophisticated Relative-GPS-Based Naval Landing Approach System, which provides crucial approach and landing phase navigation information to aircraft landing on mobile platforms, such as aircraft carriers. The airborne and ship-borne equipment allow SAGRAN to provide air-navigation information for up to 15 aircraft operating in the vicinity of the vessel.

"I am pleased to welcome these products as our latest Certified Space Technologies," said Kevin Cook, director of space awareness programs for the Space Foundation. "GMV has done an extraordinary job of developing products from space based technologies to improve life here on Earth."
