Fellow IETE, IET(UK), MIAA(Paris)] Vice Chancellor Defence Ins6tute of Advanced Technology, (Deemed University), Girinagar, Pune (Former S. Dhawan Professor and Senior Advisor SATNAV- ISRO) A.S.GANESHAN Program Director - SATNAV ISAC/ISRO, Bangalore SCPNT Nov.2015 STANFORD PALOALTO 1

2 Indian GNSS Paradigm Ø Satellite Posi6oning System (SPS) started in First SPS was used On Board IRS- P4. In- house orbit determina6on sowware SANGAM was developed. Ø Satellite Based Augmenta6on System (SBAS) studies were undertaken along with AAI in GAGAN project was formed in Technology Demonstra6on System (TDS) was over in 2007 and Final Opera6onal Phase (FOP) from year 2009 to Ø GAGAN cer6fied for APV1.0/1.5 in April, Ø Indian Regional Naviga6on Satellite System (IRNSS) studies were started in Project formula6on was completed in First IRNSS satellite was launched on 1st July, Constella6on of seven satellites is slated to be completed by Ø Collabora6ve studies and efforts have been con6nuously undertaken with GPS, GLONASS, EGNOSS/GALILEO and JAXA. Ø Ionospheric & Tropospheric Studies and modeling India may become a great user of GNSS for GIS, mobile, survey, mining, fishing industry, avia6on, road, rail transport etc. 2

3 Major Specifica6ons of SPS Description Specification Remarks Type of System GPS Receiver, L1, C/A (6/8/10/12 Channel SPS) L1 C/A, L2C & GAGAN (21 Channel SPS) In Future, this could change in a Multi-GNSS environment No of Channels 6/8/10/12/21 More Channels need More On-board Resources Time To First Fix 480/100/85/80 (Sec) Faster is Better Velocity ± 10 km (Doppler range of about 100KHz at L1 frequency) LEO Satellites typically orbit at 28,000 km/h speed Acceleration 5g High during launch/reentry. On-Orbit much lesser. On-board storage 2 Orbits Data Down linked at 16 kbps through a Ground Station S/C Interface MIL-1553B or Serial Mission Requirements 3

4 GNSS- based Satellite Posi6oning System GNSS Receiver is used to compute precise orbit of LEO satellites. The major challenges are Very high velocity Wider visibility angle Frequent memory/data corrup6on Auto- recovery 24/7 opera6on for many years Specialized acquisi6on tracking algorithms, dual- redundant dissimilar hardware, screening and special processes are used to meet the above challenges. GNSS- based SPS are successfully flown since 1999 in many missions including IRS P4, TES, IRS P6, IRS P5, CARTOSAT, SRE, Ocean Sat etc. Further GNSS Receiver is used in the PSLV launch vehicles star6ng from C8. 4

5 SPS: Performance Enhancements ( ) (Posi6on Accuracy in meters & No. of Channels) Accuracy Channels Precise Transfer of Time SPS provides a mechanism of precise time transfer for On Board Timer (OBT) and to Payloads (Science Missions). Plot showing achieved time transfer accuracy of better than 1µsec for ASTROSAT mission. 5

30 IRNSS Network Timing System(IRNWT) The IRNSS Jming facility generates the free running Jme scale is designated Free- (n), where n is either A or B depending on whether it is the online or backup system. The steered Jme scale is designated Steered- (n) or System Jme. The physical realizajon of the steered Jme scale is IRNWT, which is a leap second free Jme scale. This will be synchronized & steered to TAI from internajonal Jme lab maintained with in accuracy bejer than 25ns at any instant of Jme over a year. This will be/ can also be called as TAI aber synchronizajon. IRNWT is normally delivered by the primary system, and it is delivered by the redundant system in case the primary fails.

32 HISTORY OF NAVIGATION The great sanskrit scholar Kalidas (4 th century A.D) was the first one to imagine above land naviga6on. In his famous Sanskrit composi6on `Meghdoot, Kalidas s Yaksha instructs `Megha,how to navigate from Ramagiri to Alkapuri. He used complete Bio- Sphere as Naviga6onal Control Points. 32
