DESCRIPTION:The pervasive presence of GPS technology has profoundly altered
  various aspects of our society. This talk on Global Positioning System (G
 PS) is the first in a two-part series\, hosted by the Long Island Section'
 s Consultants Network. The second part will be on April 4.\n\nSatellite na
 vigation systems emerged at the end of the 20th century. The first was the
  US version known as the Global Positioning System (GPS) which greatly imp
 roved the range and accuracy of a position fix when compared to previous n
 avigation systems.\n\nIn Part 1 of this two part series\, we will learn th
 e basics of how GPS works.\n\nA constellation of satellites and ground con
 trol stations are at the heart of the system. Atomic clocks in satellites 
 are synchronized by ground control stations that also monitor the satellit
 e’s exact position. Satellites broadcast their orbital information allow
 ing earth-bound receivers to triangulate their position. While straight fo
 rward in principle the implementation of the system is complex requiring a
 dvanced orbital mechanics and mathematics that is beyond the scope of this
  lecture. Basic orbital mechanics will be covered but the focus of the lec
 ture will be the over-all description of the GPS system including its oper
 ation and limitations.\n\nSpeaker(s): Richard Bova\, \n\nVirtual: https://
