Short presentation with two GNSS satellites explained (GLONASS & GPS) -worked really hard on it :)

Global Navigation Satellite
Systems (GNSS)

2. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite
System) is a satellite system that is used
to pinpoint the geographic location of a
user's receiver anywhere in the world.
Two GNSS systems are currently in
operation: the United States' Global
Positioning System (GPS) and the
Russian Federation's Global Orbiting
Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS).

3. The four global GNSS systems are – GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia),
Galileo (EU), BeiDou (China). Additionally, there are two regional
systems – QZSS (Japan) and IRNSS or NavIC (India).
What are various GNSS systems?

5. The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally NAVSTAR
GPS, is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by
the United States government and operated by the United
States Space Force. It is one of the global navigation satellite
systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time
information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the
Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or
more GPS satellites. Obstacles such as mountains and
buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals.
Global Positioning System

6.  Location – determining a position
 Navigation – getting from one location to another
 Tracking – monitoring object or personal movement
 Mapping – creating maps of the world
 Timing – bringing precise timing to the world
GPS systems are extremely versatile and can be found in almost any industry
sector. They map forests, help farmers harvest their fields, and navigate airplanes
on the ground or in the air. Positioning systems are integral to military
applications, and for emergency crews to locate people in need of assistance.
GPS technologies are often working in many areas that we do not normally
consider.
Applications of GPS
Examples: Aviation,marine,rail,agriculture,timing,space.surveying & mapping

7. G L O N A S S
GLONASS (Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya
Sistema, or Global Navigation Satellite System) is a global
GNSS owned and operated by the Russian Federation. The
fully operational system consists of 24+ satellites.
It provides an alternative to Global Positioning System
(GPS) and is the second alternative navigational system in
operation with global coverage and of comparable
precision.
(First launch year: 1982)

8. GLONASS is a global navigation satellite system,
providing real time position and velocity determination
for military and civilian users. The satellites are located in
middle circular orbit at 19,100 kilometres (11,900 mi)
altitude with a 64.8-degree inclination and a period of 11
hours and 15 minutes.GLONASS applications are all
those applications that use GLONASS to collect
position, velocity and time information to be used by the
application.
Applications of Glonass
 Cartography: GLONASS is used in civilian and military cartography
 Tectonics: tectonic plates movements and convulsions are tracked using satellites
 Navigation: global positioning systems are used for maritime and roadway navigation

9. For GPS, the US has committed to maintaining at least
24 operational GPS satellites, 95% of the time. In the
past few years 31 satellites have been steadily
operational. The GLONASS constellation was also
completed in 1995, but at the end of the 1990s became
incomplete with the loss of satellites.In terms of
positional accuracy GPS is slightly better than
GLONASS overall, but due to the different positioning
of the GLONASS satellites, GLONASS has better
accuracy at high latitudes (far north or south).
