Satellite navigation: History, Applications, Art & Measurement

Satellite navigation (satnav) or satellite positioning is the use of satellites for navigation or geopositioning. A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) provides coverage for any user on Earth, including air, land, and sea. There are four operational GNSS systems: the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Global Navigation…
