Digital Teaching
The course will be held in the summer semester 2022 in attendance.

Course Contents
The lecture addresses selected topics of high-precision applications of global satellite navigation systems (GNSS) at the example of the European navigation systems EGNOS and Galileo:
[list]
[*]Time reference
[*]Geodetic reference of Galileo
[*]Galileo and EGNOS architectures
[*]Signals
[*]Navigation messages
[*]Obsesrvation equations for multi-GNSS
[*]Algorithms for PVT determination based on multi-GNSS measurements
[*]Precise point positioning
[*]High-precision orbit determination of satellites
[/list]
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
[list=1]
[*]Explain the structure of global satellite navigation systems, their applications and components
[*]Explain  the relations between localisation requirements, navigation, and the geoscience disciplines  (e.g. Geodetic reference systems, Time reference, Earth rotation, Gravitational potential etc.)
[*]Evaluate the performance and contributions of GNSS and to conceptualise GNSS applications.
[*]Apply the basic equations for satellite navigation, orbit determination and modelling in post-processing and analysis software.
