"Satellite Navigation" is the first English journal in the field of satellite navigation in China.

"Satellite Navigation" is the first English journal in the field of satellite navigation in China. It's a new publication offering scientific research in the field of satellite navigation that has just been launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Springer Nature.

The journal aims to report new results or progress on the theoretical techniques and applications of satellite navigation. It will publish original articles, reviews, and commentaries that focus on studies such as satellite navigation signals, anti-jamming methods and time and coordinate reference systems, as well as intelligent applications.

Yang Yuanxi, deputy chief designer of China's BeiDou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) and a CAS academician, is the chief editor of the journal. The editorial board has drawn more than 40 experts from countries including China, Germany, Britain, the United States, and Russia.

One article in the first issue displays the basic performance and future developments of the BDS by Yang and his research team. Also in the inaugural issue is an article about sensor technologies for navigation applications written by Canadian scientist Naser El-Sheimy.

These articles are available on the journal's website:

Tersus Geomatics Office - Static Surveying - Data Processing

Tersus Geomatics Office is integrated office software to manage and process data for NeoRTK, the RTK survey receiver. It is laid out with visualized toolbars and logical icons to easily handle GNSS data processing, baseline processing and network adjustment, etc. It is the software set to import, update and analyze data effectively.  Watch the video to know how to do data processing after static surveying data collection with NeoRTK.  Learn more, click here .  Inquiry, click here . 

What is CORS network? How to connect to CORS network with external Bluetooth module and mobile phone?

A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. The CORS is an appealing way to do RTK due to its convenience and large coverage area. While Tersus Precis-BX305 currently does not support build-in NTRIP client feature. An alternative way to connect CORS network is employing external Bluetooth module and a cellphone. Here is a detailed procedure about how to connect to CORS Network with Precis-BX305 board.  Demonstration of connecting Precis BX305 to CORS Network Hardware & Software Requirement Precis-BX305 GNSS antenna GNSS antenna cable  External Bluetooth module Bluetooth cable Cell phone (android system) 5V DC charger Software required Ntrip client (free android apps)    Connect to CORS Network Please follow below steps.  Connect GNSS antenna to Precis-BX305. Connect external Bluetooth module to either COM1 or COM2 of the board Connect to power supplier and plug in/turn on the power Turn on the Bluetooth of the mobile phone and scan and pai

What is the principle of GNSS positioning?

Satellite based positioning relies on measuring distance between satellite and receivers. With known satellite position and measured distance between satellite and receiver, the coordinate of receiver can be calculated. However, the electromagnetic signals emitted by satellites are perturbed by atmosphere and clock errors, which degrade GNSS positioning accuracy. There are two types of positioning mode, one is point position and the other is relative position (see Fig 1). Point positioning includes standard point positioning (SPP) and precise point positioning (PPP). Their major difference is whether use the carrier phase observation. Relative positioning also includes two types: DGPS and RTK. Their difference is the latter one uses carrier phase observation as well. Relative positioning cancels most error sources in distance measurement by making difference between two receivers, so it is more simple and reliable, but it only measures relative position. In practice, the coordinate of
