Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry (SVLBI) is an extension of the ground-based VLBI technology to space, which involves a simultaneous observation of the same radio source by two stations; one on the ground, the other being space-based. It could not only overcome the baseline length limitation problem specific to groundbased VLBI technology, with a great improvement on the observation resolution, but could also directly…

The Netherlands are a small country in the North West part of Europe with a high density of population. The area of only 41.000 km² is used by 16 Mio. Inhabitants, resulting into 400 inhabitants per km². There is an excellent infrastructure with 2.300 km of motorways and 137.000 km of roads in total complemented by a network of railways and bicycle tracks. The roads are used by 8 Mio. cars and 140.000 heavy goods vehicles. Although…

With the wide access to relatively inexpensive or freeware computer software for map production and using the Internet and the World Wide Web (Web) for dissemination this process has been automated somewhat, enabling the production of products and (Web) publishing to be fairly straight-forward. Using the Web as a publishing medium has allowed these relatively small voices to disseminate their viewpoint, which might otherwise be impossible…

The Munich Satellite Navigation Summit 2010 was held from March 9 – 11 in the famous Residenz Munich, traditionally organized by the Institute of Geodesy and Navigation of the University FAF Munich. Prof. Bernd Eissfeller, Director of the hosting Institute, was delighted to welcome 450 attendees from about 25 nations.

Do you know…
That I know…
The process.
To determine positions.
Accurate positions.
Of ‘what’ and ‘where’.
On and around this Earth.
I prepare the foundation.
The basics of ‘knowledge’.
On which much can be built.
I play a role.
A very important role.
Who am I?
I know that you know.
Still, I reiterate.
That I am a surveyor.

Over the past 100 years the world’s total population has quadrupled – from 1.6 billion to 6.6 billion. (Footnote: Population Bulletin, “World Population Highlights: Key Findings From PRB’s 2007 World Population Data Sheet” http:// www.prb.org/Articles/2007/623WorldPop. aspx.) In many parts of the world we see growing poverty. We now face increasingly worrisome resource constraints and environmental difficulties,

A GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) is an Indian SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) intended to provide accurate and reliable navigation information for all phases of flight over the Indian FIR (Flight Information Region) and in the adjoining areas applicable for safety-of-life operations meeting the performance requirements of ICAO. The implementation of the GAGAN program is being realized through the following two phases…

There are some countries trying to develop their own GNSS system. Is there any race? If yes, how appropriate and where would it lead to? Here are some views
“Well first of all there is the issue of robustness and putting all your eggs in one basket – that is one aspect and a major legitimate concern. The other, is a matter of national pride. In Europe there is a feeling that GPS dominates things…
