DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) emerged at
  the end of the 20th century. The first practical system was the US versio
 n known as the Global Positioning System (GPS). It greatly improved the ra
 nge and accuracy of a position fix when compared to previous navigation sy
 stems.\n\nA constellation of satellites and ground control stations are at
  the heart of the system. Atomic clocks in satellites are synchronized by 
 ground control which also monitors the satellite’s exact position in orb
 it. Satellites broadcast their orbital information along with a time stamp
  that allow earth-bound receivers to triangulate their position. While str
 aight forward in principle the implementation of the system is complex req
 uiring planetary mechanics and mathematics that is beyond the scope of thi
 s lecture. Instead\, the lecture will provide an over-all description of t
 he system including its operation\, uses and limitations.\n\nCo-sponsored
