1 Lecture 03 Introduction to Global Positioning Systems Introduction to Global Positioning Systems: From time immemorial humans have been trying to locate their position and find their ways on the planet earth. Some used drawings, some used landmarks. However such positioning system was good only under normal weather conditions. During snow or heavy rainfall, markings on ground would be buried and invisible. Moreover, when humans started exploring oceans and attempting to fly, such methods were of little use for navigation on water and air-surfaces. Humans started using astronomical aspects such as stars to locate where they are. Although celestial navigation can tell you where you are within more or less 1-mile radius, such navigation system was useful only during nights and only on clear nights. Modern humans with the invention of electronic gadgets have been trying several new mechanisms of navigation on planet earth. The most recent and the most advanced positioning system available today is the global positioning system. Global Positioning System is one among many GNSS systems (Global Navigation Satellite System) available today by which one can determine its exact position on earth, anytime, anywhere and under any weather conditions. It is a space-based radio positioning system that provides 24 hours 3-D (three Dimensional: Latitude, Longitude, Altitude) information of an object on or near the surface of the Earth. GPS is funded by and controlled by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Although there are thousands of civil users of GPS world-wide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U.S. Military. It all started back in October of National Defense Research Council, Washington D.C. suggested to develop a navigation system that combines radio signals with the new technology of accurate time interval measurements. Soon after, MIT s Radiation Lab. develops LORAN ~ LOng RAnge Navigation system the first ever landbased all-weather navigation system. It was deployed along the N. Atlantic, used during the WW II to guide allied convoys. The system had a 600 miles range. Beside LORAN other ground based radio-navigation systems are: Omega, VOR/DME, (Very High Frequency Omni-directional Ranging/Distance Measuring Equipment) and ILS (Instrument Landing System). In 1957: Soviet Union launched world s first satellite Sputnik-I and demonstrated that ground position can be determined if the orbital parameters of the satellite are known.

2 Soon after the launch of Russian satellite, in 1958, U.S. puts first American satellite, Explorer-I, into space. In 1959, first ever navigation satellite TRANSIT 1A was launched but it was lost as it failed to make an orbit. In 1960, another radio-based navigation system MOSAIC ~ MObile System for Accurate Icbm Control was designed. Since then a large number of satellites have been launched by U.S., erstwhile U.S.S.R., and several other countries to improve their navigational capabilities. Some of the landmark launch/progress/events in the history of GPS are: February 22, 1978: U.S. launched its first NAVSTAR (Navigation System with Timing And Ranging) GPS satellite. In the same year 3 other NAVSTAR satellites were launched and made operational. Four years later on Oct. 12, 1982: U.S.S.R launched their first GPS satellite GLONASS 1. (Global naya Navigatsionaya Sputnikovaya Sistema). GLONASS can be considered as Russian equivalent of GPS. By March 28, 1996: U.S. launched 38 NAVSTAR GPS satellites. Except a few that were lost, all others were operational. They have a life span of seven years, currently 24 GPS satellites are in the orbit. TRANSIT, NAVSTAR, and GLONASS are the space based navigation systems. Global navigation Satellite System (GNSS): Applications: There are innumerable applications of GPS. Three broad categories are: Agricultural Uses, Military uses, and the Civil/Recreational uses. There are several uses of GPS in agriculture. Mapping of new areas or improving the existing soil survey maps. Soil fertility maps, Yield monitor maps, and Identifying hazardous waste disposal sites. The application of GPS in agriculture that has received most attention is the site-specific management or precision farming. Military Uses: GPS provides the exact location of objects carrying the receiver. It could be soldiers, tanks, vehicles, helicopters, aircrafts, etc. In Gulf war, soldiers were able to go to places at night and during sandstorms, when even the troops who lived there couldn t. Use of GPS in everyday life is limited only by our imagination, new ways to use its capabilities are continually being found. Construction of English channel: British and French crews started digging at opposite ends. They relied on GPS receivers to check their positions along the way to make sure they meet exactly in the middle. Introduction to Global Positioning Systems. Fall Semester Raj Khosla Page 2 9/1/2015
3 GPS in transportation: Many police, fire, and emergency medical service units are using GPS receivers to determine the police car, fire truck, or ambulance nearest to an emergency, enabling the quickest response in life-or-death situations Vehicle tracking is one of the fastest-growing GPS applications. Public transportation systems, delivery trucks, and courier services use receivers to monitor their locations at all times. Making travel easier: Rental cars and other passenger cars are now equipped with GPS that give direction to drivers on display screens and through synthesized voice instructions. Wildlife Management: Endangered species such as Montana Elk and Mojave Desert Tortoise are being fitted with GPS receivers and tiny transmitters to help determine population distribution patterns and possible sources of disease. Environmental Issues: GPS equipped balloons are being used to monitor holes in the ozone layer over the Polar Regions. Similarly air quality is also being monitored in the same way. The future of GPS is unlimited as our imagination. New applications will continue to be created as technology evolves. GPS satellites, like handmade stars in the sky, will be guiding us well into the 21st century Dr. J.

History Four years later on OCT.12, 1982: U.S.S.R launched their first GPS satellite GLONASS I (GLONASS is Russian equivalent of GPS system) It is very similar to GPS: there are 27 satellites in the full constellation Each satellite transmits various data on two L-band carriers There is one navigation signal that has been authorized for civilian use, and further navigation signals that have been reserved solely for Russian military use There is a ground segment that monitors and control the satellites Users passively receive its signals and are able to navigate with accuracy's of few tens of meters or better.

10 History The current status of GLONASS system, as of Sep 2, 2014 Sep 2, History What is Galileo? European Space Agency Galileo will be Europe s own global navigation satellite system, a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. It will be inter-operable with GPS and GLONASS, the two other global satellite navigation systems. A user will be able to take a position with the same receiver from any of the satellites in any combination. By offering dual frequencies as standard, however, Galileo will deliver real-time positioning accuracy down to the metre range, which is unprecedented for a publicly available system. The project architects plan deployment in , becoming operational in 2008 at a yearly cost of 220m (provided positioning in Satellite #7 and #8 were launched in March 2015 Source: Wikipedia) Other GPS systems + GAGAN: Satellite positioning system R.
