Global Positioning System (GPS) provides precise timing, position, and velocity information by utilizing the constellation of satellites and a remote receiver that uses range measurements to the satellites and spatial trilateration techniques. In addition, more navigation satellite systems including Russia’s GLONASS, Europe’s Galileo, and PRC’s Compass will be available for the coming years. Those systems will form the mainframe of future Global Navigation Satellite System…
After the euphoria over the successful Chile mine rescue it is time to analyze the incident and ponder on the lessons learned.
Mines and accidents have been intertwined since time immemorial. But the Chile mining accident has become a watershed. Not because of the accident itself – this was no different from the many that have …
says Paul Verhoef Programme Manager, EU satellite navigation programme, European
Commission, Brussels, Belgium while emphasising on the difference between Galileo and
other GNSS systems
What is the status update on Galileo and in what stages will it become operational?
We are currently defining our initial operational capability (IOC) in detail.
Initially some services will be available which will not …

Compass and Galileo.
Apparently heading for a ‘head on’,
On frequency and signal issues.
In a world of multi GNSS systems,
With different priorities and agendas,
Such differences are inevitable.
But we do need a compatible and interoperable environment.
At the same time, we do live with conflicts and coexist.
Don’t we?

The Arctic ice is receding at a faster pace than expected a few years ago, and is quickly opening for increased human activities beyond the Arctic Circle (66.56° N). This drives a growing demand for navigation in the Arctic area, which is mainly composed of marine expanses and the land masses of Norway, Iceland, Greenland (Denmark), Northern Canada, Alaska (USA), and the Northern parts of Russia…
