SatNav – from GPS to Galileo, but under threat
About
GPS was the first global Satellite Navigation System; now there are four - why? To work they need to know the positions of many orbiting satellites accurately. Why was such a challenging method chosen? Each satellite transmits lots of signals. What are they for? Receivers have shrunk from tall cabinets to handheld devices, but they are still challenging, especially because of the threats from jamming and spoofing.
