PTTI 2013: Precise Time and Time Interval Systems and Applications Meeting

Major changes for the annual PTTI meeting this year – it will be held on the West Coast, in the high-tech concentration of Seattle’s east side and it has come under the wing of the Institute of Navigation, the new organizer of the event.

PTTI 2013, the 45th systems and applications meeting for Precise Time and Time Interval managers, system engineers and program planners, will be held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on December 2 through 5.

ESA Adds System Time Offset to Galileo Navigation Message

ESA Adds System Time Offset to Galileo Navigation Message

The four Galileo in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites now on orbit have begun broadcasting the “offset” between the GPS and Galileo system time, accurate to a few billionths of a second, according to the European Space Agency.

With satellite navigation based around the highly accurate measurement of signal travel times, both Galileo and GPS have their own internal reference time systems used to synchronize all system clocks, including those in the ground segment, on satellites, and in receivers. Galileo System Time is about 50 nanoseconds or less apart from GPS time.

MUSTER

Existing methods for improving the GNSS performance commonly attempt to enhance the signal processing and navigation estimation parts of a single receiver. Such approaches, however, leave unexplored the potential benefits inherent to the integration of data from multiple receivers.

Paul Flament is head of the European Commission’s Satellite Navigation Unit. His primary job, essentially, is to manage the Galileo program of the European Union (EU). With four operational satellites now in orbit and an ambitious schedule to set in place a constellation of 26 by 2015, Flament sat down with Inside GNSS to talk about a number of pressing issues that could affect the future of Galileo.

Flament first addressed the EU GNSS Regulation, the much-anticipated document that sets out just who will do what in the future Galileo program.
