Navigation from Space: New Space Economy

This lecture by the instructor covers the topic of Navigation from Space, focusing on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It explores the global GNSS market, the importance of GNSS for 3D position, velocity, and time determination, the operational satellites of different GNSS systems, the weather-independent nature of GNSS, GNSS frequency bands, centimeter position accuracy, sources of GNSS errors, and future advances in GNSS technology. The lecture concludes by highlighting the primary advantages of GNSS for navigation applications, such as high accuracy, availability, redundancy, and cost-effectiveness.
