Galileo is a satellite-based global navigation system created by the European Union through the European Space Agency (ESA) and operated by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA). With its headquarters in Prague in Czechia, the system has two ground operations centers in Oberpfaffenhofen/Germany, and in Fucino/Italy, where the former is primarily responsible
GLONASS (Global’naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, meaning Global Navigation Satellite System) is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) owned by Russia. It serves as an alternative to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), and in terms of global coverage and precision, it is the second operational navigation system. The orbital inclination of the GLONASS satellites is
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system owned by the U.S. Space Force and currently operated by Mission Delta 31 (the unit responsible for navigation warfare). GPS is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) providing geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on (or near) the Earth, as
A satellite navigation system is a system that uses satellites to provide autonomous geopositioning. When a satellite navigation system has global coverage, it is referred to as a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). As of today, there are four operational global systems: the GPS of the United States, Galileo of the European Union, GLONASS of
The pervasiveness of GPS in our daily lives – from navigation apps to location-based services – makes it easy to forget the intricate technology behind it. GPS relies on weak radio signals transmitted from orbiting satellites that travel thousands of miles, and these signals can be susceptible to disruption. This is where GPS anti-jamming comes
GNSS, or Global Navigation Satellite System, is a state of the art technology that cate to our modern positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) needs. It’s intricate design has resulted in a complex system, but also allowed for simple calculus and trigonometry to work out position of the receiver anywhere in the world. At its Heart,
