GNSS Systems Reports: Compass ICD, Expanded QZSS, GLONASS Launches, GPS Budget Issues, Galileo Reprofiling

[Updated October 3] All five of the world’s major satellite navigation systems are poised to offer new capability — if the money comes through — program representatives told attendees at the recent Institute of Navigation’s GNSS 2011 conference in Portland.

The satellite navigation systems in China, Japan, and the United States have each recently had new satellites added, while those in Russia and Europe are poised for new launches. Budgets are in flux for most systems, however, so it remains to be seen how the systems will advance over the next year.

The Differences in Differencing

Equation 1

Q: How does measurement differencing affect my computed position?

A: The short answer is, “That depends.”

Standalone, or undifferenced, measurements obviously produce the poorest positioning performance. However, how we proceed from this most basic data processing approach may affect the computed solution. In this article, we look at the details of why this occurs.

United Nations International Meeting on The Applications of GNSS

United Nations International Meeting on The Applications of GNSS

ICG Program Officer Sharafat Gadimova

[Updated Sept 7, 2011] The United Nations and the United States will co-sponsor a special meeting to commemorate 10 years of achievement on the global navigation satellite systems on December 12-16, 2011 at the United Nations office Vienna International Center in Vienna, Austria.

The main discussion will center around the International Committee on GNSS (ICG),  created by The UN Office of Outer Space Affairs (OOSA) in 2005 to bring together all system providers and smooth the way for global development of the satellite navigation systems.

GNSS Signals 2011: European Workshop on Signals and Signal Processing

ENAC campus courtyard

The fifth European workshop on GNSS signals and signal processing will take place at ENAC headquarters (École Nationale de l’Aviation Civile),  in Toulouse, France on December 8 and 9, 2011.

The workshop will give an overview of GNSS signals, characteristics, and performances related to any of the navigation, positioning, timing, attitude determination and scientific GNSS services. Papers have been accepted on the use of EGNOS (3,4) and GALILEO (1,2) signals, and all other GNSS signals for operational and/or scientific applications, with 1 to 5 frequencies.
