Introduction
Global Navigation Satellite Systems is a set of
satellites that allow users on earth to determine
there position.
Several NSS are used in the world like, GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo; all together form the GNSS.
NSS accuracy has improved, and made it possible
to find your way through a city, based only onthe data gathered by your receiver from space.

Transit
Developed by the American NAVY in 1959.Also
known as NAVY Navigation Satellite System.
Only one satellite is required for positioning. A position can be calculated as soon as the
satellite passes overhead.
It can guarantee a successful measurement in110 min at the equator.

Configuration
Satellites are configured in uniform orbitalprecession, in six polar orbits.
Six satellites.
Six polar orbits.
altitude: 960 km
period: 106 min
inclination: 90
Three ground-based monitor stations.

Concept
theory of relationship between satellites and receiver:
1. a satellite sends its exact position and time overfrequency fo.
2. a receiver searches for signal over a certain frequencyrange above fo.
3. if the signal can be found on a certain frequency f, thereceiver will continue to track this frequency as itcontinues to drop.
4. when fo = f, then the satellite is somewhereoverhead.
5. at this point, a calculation can be performed, and thereceiver can stop listening.

Disadvantages
The calculations narrow the receivers positionto two possible locations.
For anything but maritime expeditions, thiswould render the system useless unless thealtitude is known.
Other disadvantages include bad coverage,
poor accuracy and the requirement thatreceiver physically has to wait until a satellitepasses overhead.

GPS
Global Positioning System was developed by
the US Department of defense.
A measurement requires data from fourdifferent satellites.
A successful measurement is done within 36
seconds.
Each satellite must know the exact time, with
an accuracy of at least 10 nanoseconds.

Configuration
the configuration for the GPS that provide globalcoverage:
21 active satellites
3 spare satellites six orbital planes (in MEO orbit)
altitude: 20,200 km
period: 11h 58m
inclination: 53 degree
four satellites per plane
five monitor stations.

Concept
Basic relationship between the satellite and receiver:
1. A receiver receives a signal from a GPS satellite.
2. It determines the difference between the current
time and the time submitted over the frequency.3. It calculates the distance of the satellite from thereceiver, knowing that the signal was sent at thespeed of light.
4. The receiver receives a signal from another two
satellites, and again calculates the distance fromthem.
5. Knowing its distance from three known locations, thereceiver triangulates its position.

Disadvantages
GPS coverage is relatively poor.
especially in places where there are many
large obstructions in the receiver's horizon. microwave frequencies are very sensitive.
signals may bounce, or be blocked entirely.

Galileo
A European GNSS developed in 2004.
Satellites have a relatively lightweight of 625kg.
Satellites broadcast over a wider spectrum of
frequencies than GPS. Services:
1. Open service
2. Safety of life service
3. Commercial service4. Public regulated service
5. Search and rescue service.

Configuration
the major difference from other systems is that itsconfiguration uses only three planes instead of six
27 active satellites
3 spare satellites
three orbital planes (in MEO orbit)
altitude: 23,616km
period: 14h 4minclination: 56 degree
10 satellites per plane

Concept
Has the same relationship between satellite andreceiver an GPS.
Design advantages:
1. Increased power output with Lithium-Ionbatteries.
2. Lightweight and compact.
3. Laser retro-reflector allows pinging from earthby laser.
4. Upgradeability with extra payloads.

5. Communication amongst satellites by Inter-
Satellite Link (ISL).
6.C
an be injected directly into the correct orbitby the launcher.
7. Launchers can accommodate two to eight
satellite vehicles.

Meteorogical Satellites
They observe and transmit information to the
stations located on the earths surface.
They serve as collector of global visible andinfrared cloud data and other specialized
meteorological, oceanographic and solar-
geophysical data.
The are of two types, Polar orbiting and
Geostationary.

Satellite Sensor System
Most sensors are designed to measure
photons.
A negatively charged detector (light-sensitivematerial) is subjected to the beam of photon.
Electrons are emitted at the contact of
photons with the detector.
The electrons can then be made to flow from
the plate, collected, and counted as a signal.

Information Classification
a) Spatial information: obtaining the requiredinformation over a 2-dimantional plane.
b) Spectral information: for certain applications,
the spectral details of an electromagnetic signalare of crucial importance (ex. Atmosphericlayers).
c) Intensity information: the measure the intensity
of the EM radiation reflected from the object toknow the dielectric properties and theroughness of the object.

Principle of satellite remote sensing
All objects emit electromagnetic radiation. Thehotter the source, the greater is the intensity ofemission. Substances which absorb all theradiation falling on them at every wavelength arecalled black bodies. The coefficient ofabsorption is then unity.
Most substances, however, are not perfect blackbodies. Their emissivity is less than unity.
Unlike solids and liquids, gases are not blackbodies. They only absorb or emit strongly atcertain wavelengths.

Satellite Imagery:
a) Visible (VIS) - imagery derived from reflectedsunlight at visible and near infrared wavelength(0.4 - 1.1 m).
b) Infrared (IR) imagery derived from emissions bythe earth and its atmosphere at thermal infraredwavelengths (10-12 m).
c) Water Vapor (WV) imagery derived from watervapor emissions (6-7m).
d) Images from microwave radiometer such asSpecial Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), andTRMM Microwave Imagers.

RADAR
RADAR is an acronym for Radio Detection And
Ranging.
RADAR is an object detection system thatuses EM waves to identify the range, altitude,
direction or speed of both moving and fixed
objects such as aircrafts, ships, weather
formations and terrain.
