Aireon would like to honor the achievements of some of the great women at Aireon and look-ahead at the opportunities that await future generations. For our second post, we sat down with Sinead McCloskey, Aireon’s Director of Safety and Service Operations.

It’s up to Aireon to be our own regulatory body and continue being safety-minded. Not just within our safety team, but across the entirety of the organization.
For the third installment of our “Back-to-Basics” blog series, 1090 Global is exploring the “ins and outs” of Aireon’s analytical ADS-B data. If you read our first two posts, you learned how the system works, and how the data travels from point A to point B. Now it’s time to understand what differentiates Aireon’s data from today’s available data sets, and how it will greatly impact the global aviation community.
Aireon’s space-based global air traffic surveillance service is ADS-B on a satellite. Instead of utilizing traditional radio receiver towers on the ground, Aireon has redesigned them into flexible and highly effective space-grade receivers on Iridium’s second-generation satellite constellation, Iridium NEXT. This allows for 100 percent global air traffic surveillance using the same ADS-B signal that aircraft already transmit.
For the second installment of our ‘Back-to-Basics’ blog series, 1090 Global is diving deeper into the inner workings of Aireon’s technology. At the core of the Aireon system is a technology called ADS-B which, in addition to being at the cutting-edge of aviation surveillance and aircraft tracking, is the foundation of every Aireon Hosted Payload (AHP).
