  • Flight Inspection History Written by Scott Thompson - Sacramento Flight Inspection Office (May 2008)
    Flight Inspection History Written by Scott Thompson - Sacramento Flight Inspection Office (May 2008) Through the brief but brilliant span of aviation history, the United States has been at the leading edge of advancing technology, from airframe and engines to navigation aids and avionics. One key component of American aviation progress has always been the airway and navigation system that today makes all-weather transcontinental flight unremarkable and routine. From the initial, tentative efforts aimed at supporting the infant air mail service of the early 1920s and the establishment of the airline industry in the 1930s and 1940s, air navigation later guided aviation into the jet age and now looks to satellite technology for direction. Today, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides, as one of many services, the management and maintenance of the American airway system. A little-seen but still important element of that maintenance process is airborne flight inspection. Flight inspection has long been a vital part of providing a safe air transportation system. The concept is almost as old as the airways themselves. The first flight inspectors flew war surplus open-cockpit biplanes, bouncing around with airmail pilots and watching over a steadily growing airway system predicated on airway light beacons to provide navigational guidance. The advent of radio navigation brought an increased importance to the flight inspector, as his was the only platform that could evaluate the radio transmitters from where they were used: in the air. With the development of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) and the Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR), flight inspection became an essential element to verify the accuracy of the system.

  • An Overview of Global Positioning System (GPS)
    Technical Article February 2012 | page 1 An Overview of Global Positioning System (GPS) The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite–based radio–navigation system. GPS provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to users on a continuous worldwide basis. The satellite system was built by the United States, but its services are freely available to everyone on the planet. For anyone with a GPS receiver, the system provides location and time. GPS provides accurate location and time information for an unlimited number of people in all weather, day or night, anywhere in the world. The GPS is made up of three parts: satellites orbiting the Earth; control and monitoring stations on Earth; and the GPS receivers (either stand–alone devices or integrated sub–systems) operated by users. GPS satellites broadcast continuous signals which are picked up and identified by GPS receivers. Each GPS receiver then provides three–dimensional location information (latitude, longitude, and altitude), plus the current time. Equipped with a GPS receiver, any user can accurately locate where they are and easily navigate to where they want to go, whether walking, driving, flying, or boating. GPS has become an important part of transportation systems worldwide, providing navigation for aviation, ground, and maritime operations. Disaster relief and emergency service agencies depend upon GPS for location and timing capabilities in their life–saving missions. Everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids, are facilitated by the accurate timing provided by GPS. Farmers, surveyors, geologists and countless others perform their work more efficiently, safely, economically, and accurately using the free and open GPS signals.

  • Missions Objectives of the Doris System
    MISSIONS OF THE DORIS SYSTEM Luis RUIZ , Pierre SENGENES, Pascale ULTRE-GUERARD Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales RESUME – Ce document a pour objet de donner un aperçu des applications du système DORIS, principalement dans les domaines de l’altimétrie océanographique et de la géodésie. Il indique quelles sont les missions opérationnelles qui utilisent DORIS et celles pour lesquelles DORIS est candidat. Il décrit succinctement les principes de fonctionnement du système et en donne les principales performances. ABSTRACT - The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the DORIS applications in support of radar altimetry or geodetic missions. It mentions the operational programs currently using the DORIS system as well as the future programs for which DORIS is a candidate payload. 1- HISTORY : The DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite) was designed and developed by CNES, the Groupe de Recherche Spatiale GRGS (CNES/CNRS/Université Paul Sabatier) and IGN in 1982 to cover new requirements concerning precise orbit determination. As such, DORIS was proposed in support of POSEIDON oceanographic altimetric experiment and was embarked on the TOPEX satellite (launched in August 92). DORIS is then part of the scientific payload, and is a primary sensor for the orbit determination which requires an accuracy in the order of 2 to 3 cm to achieve the large scale ocean monitoring needed for the altimetric mission. The in-flight validation of DORIS was achieved before the TOPEX/POSEIDON experiment, by flying an experimental DORIS payload on board the observation satellite SPOT 2 (launched in 1990). 2- MISSIONS : Although the DORIS system was originally designed to perform very precise orbit determination of low Earth orbiting satellites for ocean altimetry experiments, many applications have been developed since.

The major ones are: maritime circular radiobeacons (RC), Decca-Navigator System (DNS) and Differential GPS (DGPS), as well as solutions forgotten today: AD-2 and SYLEDIS. In this paper, due to its limited volume, the authors have omitted the description of the solutions used by the Polish Navy (RYM, BRAS, JEMIOŁUSZKA, TSIKADA) and the global or continental systems (TRANSIT, GPS, GLONASS, OMEGA, EGNOS, LORAN, CONSOL) - described widely in world literature.

    Top RUSSIA“OE Watch” is a monthly publication of the US Army Office of Foreign Military Studies Russia Hedges Bets on Satellite 6 August Navigation 2013 “During combat activity all satellite signals coming through space will be actively suppressed with so-called ‘white noise’” OE Watch Commentary: One common thread in Russian military thought about the U.S. military is the U.S military’s overreliance on technology, especially the use (or overuse ) of GPS/satellite technology. Despite this criticism, Russia has made great efforts to complete its own satellite navigation system, known as GLONASS (Global’naya navigatsionnaya sputnikovaya sistema/Global Navigation Satellite System). Due to the development of GLONASS, Russia has seen little need to further support terrestrial-based navigation technologies such as the Long Distance Radio Navigation Station (RSDN) system. As the accompanying article discusses, the Russian Federation has taken a new look at the feasibility of relying solely on satellite navigation technologies, and a GLONASS RSDN-10 .

GPS Nominal System • 24 Satellites (SV) • 6 Orbital Planes • 4 Satellites per Plane • 55 Degree Inclinations • 10,898 Miles Height • 12 Hour Orbits • 16 Monitor Stations • 4 Uplink Stations 16 of 301 © 2008 The MITRE Corporation.

GPS Availability Standards and Achieved Performance “In support of the service availability standard, 24 operational satellites must be available on orbit with 0.95 probability (averaged over any day). At least 21 satellites in the 24 nominal plane/slot positions must be set healthy and transmitting a navigation signal with 0.98 probability (yearly averaged).” Historical GPS constellation performance has been significantly better than the standard.

GPS Constellation Status (30 March 2008) • 30 Healthy Satellites – 12 Block IIR satellites – 13 Block IIA satellites – 6 Block IIR-M satellites • 2 additional IIR-M satellites to launch • Since December 1993, U.S.
