Integration of statistical and geospatial data is key to delivering a public information infrastructure that supports evidencebased decision making.

Signals from both Galileo satellites launched March 27 are now transmitting signals.

Researchers at Université de Liège and at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, or DLR) reported on May 21 that the first of the full-operational capability (FOC) satellites had begun transmitting standard L-band signals. The satellite, designated Galileo 8, is using pseudorandom-noise-code identifier 22.

German automaker Daimler AG is increasing its ties with China’s web service provider Baidu Inc to enhance its in-car software technology, for its luxury brands…

The decision by India’s National Disaster Response Force to use drones to help Nepal map the scale of devastation caused by last month’s earthquake indicates how India has enthusiastically taken to these pilot-less aircraft — the so-called eyes in the sky.

Scientists at the Woods Hole Research Center(WHRC) in Massachusetts, USA have developed vegetation height maps for the entire tropics at very fine spatial scales. These first-of itskind high resolution maps can help researchers estimate forest cover, monitor biodiversity and wildlife habitats, and manage and monitor timber.

Time originally determined by the standard clock is called proper time, and the time calculated under the relativistic framework is called coordinate time. The time conversion calculated under the relativistic framework comes to precession, nutation, and polar motion correction models which calculate…
