Short course: GPS/GNSS for the Modern Surveyor
February 16-17, 2012, UNSW Kensington Campus, Sydney. This short course is designed for professional surveyors wishing to incorporate GPS/GNSS techniques into their survey practices (with some emphasis on cadastral surveying), however, it is also suitable for allied professionals looking to up-skill their knowledge. Dr Craig Roberts and Mr Simon McElroy (Land & […]
Topcon rolls out HiPer II for GNSS positioning
Topcon recently rolled out its new HiPer II, an integrated, dual-constellation (GPS + GLONASS) Real Time Kinematic (RTK) and static receiver. “The new HiPer has fully customisable functionality and provides industry-leading flexibility to fit any survey requirement, from the most simple of chores to the most complex assignments,” says Mark Contino, vice president of […]
LINZ broadcasting real-time GNSS data
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has started broadcasting real-time, one second Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data. The data is streamed free-of-charge from 39 Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) throughout New Zealand. This includes 34 LINZ PositioNZ stations and 5 stations which are part of the GeoNet project run by GNS Science. Users […]
MGA to establish regional multi-GNSS monitor network
Multi-GNSS Asia (MGA) and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have just announced a call for EOI to host one of JAXA's multi-GNSS receivers. These multi-GNSS receivers will be able to track GPS, Glonass, Galileo and QZSS satellite signals. This call is the first step in the establishment of a global continuous observation […]
China launches the next satellite in its GNSS
The eighth satellite in China's Beidou-2 global navigation system was launched on-board a Long March 3A rocket on 10 April 2011, according to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. The Beidou-2 system will compete with the US' Global Positioning System, the European Union's Galileo, and Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System (Glonass). […]
China pushes on with GNSS
China will establish its own GNSS global navigation system by 2020 by launching about 12 to 14 satellites in the next few years, Chinese state media reported last week. The navigation and positioning satellite is essential for a country in the development of economy and national defence, officials said. By the end of 2020, […]
