Space 490

GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS

Fundamentals of GNSS and Orbital Mechanics
This course provides an in-depth examination of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), covering both foundational and intermediate technical concepts. Students will explore key global systems—including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS, and NavIC—as well as regional augmentation systems. Lessons include GNSS architecture, orbital mechanics, threat identification, and mitigation techniques. The course concludes with an application-focused module on civilian and military uses of GNSS and culminates in a comprehensive capstone project.
