Lecture
This lecture introduces the fundamentals of satellite tracking, covering topics such as satellite constellations, geolocation in daily life, GPS systems, and the deployment of satellite services. It also delves into the challenges of GNSS in scientific contexts, the architecture of satellite positioning systems, and the determination of tropospheric delay. The course explores the geodetic references used in satellite tracking, the conversion algorithms for GPS measurements, and the analysis of GPS positions in different environments. Practical exercises, scientific articles, and the evaluation of localization quality are key components of the learning process.
