The intense public debate on how rapidly the Himalayan glaciers are retreating highlights the necessity for the constant monitoring of glaciers worldwide by satellites. Considering the valuable role satellites can play in determining the state of Earth’s glaciers, the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) has called for the systematic monitoring of glaciers by satellites in …

Minister Mah Bow Tan said Singapore’s land use planning for the next 10-15 years has to take into account new trends and emerging issues. Many of these issues are complex and may involve trade-offs between different objectives. He also launched a public consultation to seek public views on shaping Singapore’s physical landscape. The Urban Redevelopment …

GPS ranging is based on the reception of the LoS component of the signals transmitted from the constellation of GPS satellite vehicles (SV), and on measuring the time elapsed in the propagation of appropriately time-marked signal signatures. Even in the absence of any reflected (multipath) signal components, the determination of physical separations between SVs and receiver is tied to a subtlety arising…

For interplanetary missions, the determination of S/C state vector (position and velocity) is required both for navigation purposes and science operations. The main error sources affecting S/C tracking data are the solar corona and the interplanetary plasma, which could be removed by using the multifrequency link technique between the probe and the ground station [1]. Once solar plasma noise has been removed…
