After the decade-long crisis of the 1990s, the country’s political leadership guided by President Putin gave new impetus to the development of national space activities and put the sector back among the top priorities of Moscow’s domestic and foreign policy agenda. Supported by the progressive recovery of Russia’s economy, renewed political stability, and an improving external environment, Russia re-asserted strong ambitions and the resolve to regain its original position on the international scene. Towards this, several major space programmes were adopted, including the Federal Space Programme 2006-2015, the Federal Target Programme on the development of Russian cosmodromes, and the Federal Target Programme on the redeployment of GLONASS. This renewed commitment to the development of space activities was duly reflected in a sharp increase in the country’s launch rate and space budget throughout the decade. Thanks to the funds made available by flourishing energy exports, Russia’s space expenditure continued to grow even in the midst of the global financial crisis. Besides new programmes and increased funding, the spectrum of activities was also widened to encompass a new focus on space applications and commercial products.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALGARY New Enhanced Sensitivity Detection
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY New Enhanced Sensitivity Detection Techniques for GPS L1 C/A and Modernized Signal Acquisition by Surendran K. Shanmugam A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF GEOMATICS ENGINEERING CALGARY, ALBERTA January, 2008 c Surendran K. Shanmugam 2008 ISBN: 978-0-494-38222-6 Abstract Throughout history, there has been a constant effort to master the art of navigation for its importance in trade and commerce. Even today, this pursuit of better navigation is still active for its continual impact in various fields. In the last decade, the navigation field witnessed drastic changes with the advent of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in the form of the global positioning system (GPS). This decade is currently witnessing the expansion of its scope far beyond its traditional focus. On the other hand, these expansions has brought upon new challenges to the current GPS system that were never encountered before. Hence, the legacy GPS system is expected to overcome some stern impediments inherent to these new applications for its continual dominance. For instance, massive signal attenuation, radio frequency interference (RFI) and multipath readily represents, the axis of evil, in the view point of GPS operations as applied to these new applications. More specifically, massive signal attenuation and RFI conditions poses a grave difficulty in terms of traditional GPS operations. Subsequently, one has to resort to enhanced sensitivity GPS receivers for successful GPS operations under these adverse signal conditions. A number of detection algorithms have been utilized to permit successful GPS operations under degraded signal environments.

  • User Guide for Egnos Application Developers
    USER GUIDE FOR EGNOS APPLICATION DEVELOPERS ED 2.0, 15/12/2011 Preface After more than 10 years of development and qualification efforts bringing together actors from across the European continent, including project teams, industrial teams, and operators, for the first time Europe has at its disposal a GNSS infrastructure which delivers, on a permanent basis and according to international civil aviation standards, a satellite navigation service covering much of the continent. For all space sector participants, it is extremely gratifying to see a programme having origina- ted in research and development leaving the space agency sphere and entering into the world of services addressed at a vast community of users. After telecommunications, meteorology, oceanography, search and rescue and Earth observation, we are now seeing the emergence of a new area of operational space activity, which clearly illustrates the unique and essential contribution space can make to citizens. The success of a development activity is a crucial step on the way to the success of a pro- gramme. For it to become a total success, efforts must now focus on ensuring that users, in all application areas, can obtain easy access to services, making those services straightforward to use and, of course, on guaranteeing quality of service over time. This guide is designed to acquaint the user with the system and to provide the essential tech- nical information that users and application developers require if they are to make the best possible use of EGNOS. CNES, the European Space Agency and the European Commission are proud to have contri- buted to the development of the EGNOS system, and thank all participants in this effort, both public and industrial, for their contributions to and support for the programme.
