Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Training Workshop

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Training Workshop: A Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) involves a constellation of satellites orbiting at about twenty thousand kilometers altitude over the earth’s surface, continuously transmitting signals that enable users to determine their three-dimensional position with global coverage. While GPS is the most prevalent GNSS, other nations are fielding, or have fielded, their own systems to provide complementary, independent PNT capability.
