GPS

Gps is also called NAVSTR, gps is basically a satellite base radio navigation system which is 1st used by US
govt for military purpose in 1973. The 1st satellite was launched in 1978 in this project. In 1983 Korean
airline have no gps In airplane so they goes to another border and as crashed.so due that accident gps is
worldwide provided. for worldwide coverage 24 satellite is required so us govt launch 1st satellite in 24
February in 1989 and last satellite which is 24 was launch in 1994. In 1995 gps is open for public but its
not more accurate .in 2000 gps working well.

SATELLITE

Satellite as an object that revolve in a curved path around the planet


PARTS OF SATELLITE

1. RADAR
Its used for the measurement of Hight from the ground level, its have transmitter and receiver
2. SOLAR PANEL
Satellite work on solar energy
3. BATTERY
Solar panel charge the battery so it’s night that battery is used

TYPES OF SATELLITE

1. Weather satellite
From which we know about the weather
2. Telecommunication satellite
For tv, internet
3. Scientific satellite
4. Rescue satellite
When airplane is in trouble so that satellite help to go the helping place
5. Military satellite

SATELLITE ORIBIT

1. LOW EARTH ORBIT (LEO)


Distance from earth is 160-2000 km
2. Medium earth orbit (MEO)
Distance from earth is 2000-35700 km
3. Geostationary orbit (GEO)
Satellite in GEO circle earth above equator from west to east, e.g. telecommunication satellite

Navigation Signal
The signal contains data that a receiver uses to compute the locations
of the satellites and to make other adjustments needed for accurate
positioning. The receiver uses the time difference between the time of
signal reception and the broadcast time to compute the distance, or
range, from the receiver to the satellite.
What is GNSS?
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a
constellation of satellites providing signals from space that
transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers. The
receivers then use this data to determine location.

By definition, GNSS provides global coverage. Examples of


GNSS include Europe’s Galileo, the USA’s NAVSTAR Global
Positioning System (GPS), Russia’s Global'naya
Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS) and
China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.

The performance of GNSS is assessed using four criteria:

Accuracy: the difference between a receiver’s measured and real


position, speed or time;
Integrity: a system’s capacity to provide a threshold of
confidence and, in the event of an anomaly in the positioning
data, an alarm;
Continuity: a system’s ability to function without interruption;
Availability: the percentage of time a signal fulfils the above
accuracy, integrity and continuity criteria.
This performance can be improved by regional satellite-based
augmentation systems (SBAS), such as the European
Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). EGNOS
improves the accuracy and reliability of GPS information by
correcting signal measurement errors and by providing
information about the integrity of its signals.
