    Basic principles of celestial navigation James A. Van Allena) Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 ͑Received 16 January 2004; accepted 10 June 2004͒ Celestial navigation is a technique for determining one’s geographic position by the observation of identified stars, identified planets, the Sun, and the Moon. This subject has a multitude of refinements which, although valuable to a professional navigator, tend to obscure the basic principles. I describe these principles, give an analytical solution of the classical two-star-sight problem without any dependence on prior knowledge of position, and include several examples. Some approximations and simplifications are made in the interest of clarity. © 2004 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.1778391͔ I.

    Some Guidelines for Effective Field-Use of the GPS Unit

    PRBO Conservation Science 4990 Shoreline Highway Stinson Beach, CA 94970 415-868-1221 www.prbo.org Guidelines for Field Use of Garmin GPS Units GPS Checklist: Copy an updated version of the master "allpc" shapefile and other digital basemaps, including topo quads and aerial photos, from the GIS server (V: drive) before the field season starts. Know what coordinate system (e.g., UTM, zone 10) and datum (e.g., NAD83) your project uses. The PRBO default is UTM, WGS84 (same as NAD83). In the UTM coordinate system, your zone depends on where you are (see map). Download your GPS coordinates daily, using GPS Utility (www.gpsu.co.uk/) or Waypoint+ (www.tapr.org/~kh2z/Waypoint/) shareware. It is not uncommon for Garmin units to die in the field. You will need a PC Interface cable to download your data and a registration key for GPS Utility. If you are unable to download, record your coordinates by hand in the field. Always carry extra batteries, especially if you’re not planning to revisit the site, and turn off your GPS unit when not in use to avoid draining the internal lithium battery. Contact Garmin (www.garmin.com) for replacement or repair under warranty if your unit dies. UTM Zones Submit copies of your GPS coordinate files to the GIS lab at the end of the field season for archiving and general mapping purposes. In the Field GPS Unit Setup Before taking waypoints in the field, the GPS navigation display should be set up to match the coordinate system, horizontal datum, and units used at a particular field project’s location.

    UNIT-II GPS systems:NAVSTAR-GLONAAS-Beidou-QZSS-IRNSS-GPS receivers based on: Data type and yield-Realization of channels-Signal structure:Course Acquisition(code)-Carrier ranging and Navigational message Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS,[1] is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.[2] It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.[3] Obstacles such as mountains and buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals. The GPS does not require the user to transmit any data, and it operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information. The GPS provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.[4][better source needed] The GPS project was started by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1973, with the first prototype spacecraft launched in 1978 and the full constellation of 24 satellites operational in 1993. Originally limited to use by the United States military, civilian use was allowed from the 1980s following an executive order from President Ronald Reagan.[5] Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS and implement the next generation of GPS Block IIIA satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX).[6] Announcements from Vice President Al Gore and the Clinton Administration in 1998 initiated these changes, which were authorized by the U.S.
