The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Rocket Lab Corporation to launch a dedicated Electron mission, marking the first time the company will deploy satellites for ESA’s next-generation ...

Timing from atomic clocks is now an integral part of data-center operations. The atomic clock time transmitted via Global Position System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ...

Recent changes in hardware and standards make one-meter accuracy possible, in some cases as soon as this year.

You’ve probably heard of at least one of those terms in any discussion around GPS anti-jam technology for defense. Because they are all terms that describe essentially the same thing: a specialized ...

You may have heard about “NMEA data” with respect to GPS. NMEA can be confusing because there are a few NMEA messages, not just one.

In this cover story on simulators, we discuss these challenges with experts at four simulator manufacturers including CAST Navigation, Spirent Federal, Spirent Communications, Safran Federal Systems ...

For this column, the file of bench marks provided on the NGS Geoid18 web page were combined with the published ellipsoid, orthometric, and Geoid18 heights from NGS’ datasheet. The difference between ...

To further enhance the benefits of combining space-based geodetic techniques, the European Space Agency (ESA) has established the Genesis mission.

China’s BeiDou GNSS is newer, has more features, is more accurate, and has more satellites in the skies of more nations than the venerable U.S. GPS, according to Sarah Sewall, Executive Vice President ...

The Dunhuang long-wave timing station, a crucial component of China's high-precision ground-based timing system, has been completed and tested.

GPS applications are vulnerable to signal interference, spoofing and degraded or denied services. Both intentional — jamming — and unintentional signal interference can cause inaccurate PNT and poor ...

Experts answer questions about taking advantage of many satellites and corrections services while combating spoofing and jamming increases complexity.
