THIS EXAMPLE WAS USED FROM CIRCA 1986 POSSIBLY TO 1993.

Canada

AN INSTRUMENT USED BY THE GEODETIC SURVEY DIV. OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA.

Fonction

THE USER SEGMENT OF A SATELLITE-BASED RADIO-POISITIONING SYSTEM PROVIDING AN EXTREMELY ACCURATE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ESTIMATE OF BOTH POSITION (LONGITUDE, LATITUDE, & ELEVATION) & VELOCITY, AS WELL AS A PRECISE TIME READING, TO USERS ON LAND, SEA OR AIR. THE SYSTEM WAS USED IN NAVIGATION & SURVEYING.

Technique

A SPACE-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM, UTILIZING 24 NAVSTAR SATELLITES & PROVIDING NAVIGATIONAL ACCURACY FOR CIVILIAN USE TO 100 METRES. GPS WAS FIRST DEVELOPED IN THE MID 1970'S BY THE U.S. FOR MILITARY USE. SIGNALS FROM FOUR SATELLITES ARE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE POSITION. GPS SUCCEEDS TRANSIT, THE FIRST NAVIGATION SATELLITE WHICH UTILIZED THE DOPPLER SHIFT MEASURED DURING A SINGLE SATELLITE PASS, A MUCH SLOWER PROCESS.
