INS/GPS integrated navigation system is studied in this paper for the hypersonic UAV in order to
satisfy the precise guidance requirements of hypersonic UAV and in response to the defects while the
inertial navigation system (INS) and the global positioning system (GPS) are being applied separately. The
information of UAV including position, velocity and attitude can be obtained by using INS and GPS
respectively after generating a reference trajectory. The corresponding errors of two navigation systems
can be obtained through comparing the navigation information of the above two guidance systems.
Kalman filter is designed to estimate the navigation errors and then the navigation information of INS are
corrected. The non-equivalence relationship between the platform misalignment angle and attitude error
angle are considered so that the navigation accuracy is further improved. The Simulink simulation results
show that INS/GPS integrated navigation system can help to achieve higher accuracy and better antiinterference
ability than INS navigation system and this system can also satisfy the navigation accuracy
requirements of hypersonic UAV.
The earth�s ionosphere acts as a perturbing medium on satellite-based navigational systems like GPS. Variations in the ionosphere due to weather conditi ons caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejectio n can scatter Trans - Ionosphere radio signals producing fluctuations in both amplitude and phase and GPS cy cle slips disrupting satellite communications and navig ation. The ionosphere delay is one of the fundament al reasons for inaccuracy in GPS positioning and routi ng. The Total Electron Content (TEC) along the radi o wave path from a GPS satellite to the ground receiv er is directly proportional to the ionosphere delay . This paper proposes a method allowing to calculate the T EC with a correctness of about 2�3 TECU and to sens e Travelling Ionosphere Disturbances using GPS measur ements.

We review what could be astronomy from the Moon in the next decades in the visible domain.
After a short review observational approaches, from photometry to high contrast and high angular
resolution imaging, We essentially focus on some promising scientific objectives, from Solar
System to the extragalactic domain. At the end, I add a proposal to use the Earth-Moon system to
test fundamental physics. Since this meeting is dedicated to the next decades of Astronomy from
the Moon, we consider projects and science objectives for several decades from now.

Relativistic Effect in GPS Satellite and Computation of Time Error Vedant Srivastava
The satellites are the integral part of our life. In current scenario, our planet is covered with
thousands of satellites. These satellites covers every aspect of communication like- navigation,
telecommunication, television broadcasting, satellite imaginary, military communications,
Space Station, Earth's weather and climate etc. The small time delay in clock implemented in
satellites cause large delay in propagating signal and it leads to tremendous loss in
communication. This Project basically deals with detection and computation of time error on
satellite clock due to relativistic effect. The time delay is based on both special and general
relativity postulated by Albert Einstein in 1905 and 1915. The detection and computation had
been done by presenting the simulations in the MATLAB environment. The focus of project is
specially GPS satellites due to the need of better and reliable navigation system in current
scenario. Using the Simulink Environment in MATLAB a P code and C/A code have generated
and tested. These code contains timing signal and synchronization signal for GPS satellites.
Synchronizing time with precise time calculation on GPS receivers, system simulation in
MATLAB from GPS satellite transmitter to receiver will be discussed here. The atomic clock
is also discussed here which is used to measure the time delay with high level of precision
(around 10 nano-second) in satellites. Satellite Tool Kit (STK) Software a package
from Analytical Graphics, Inc. is also used in the project to model the satellite and its orbit
around the planet earth. It provides very high graphics simulation and modelling. It allows
engineers and scientists to perform complex analyses of all the physical parameters necessary
for satellite designing and communication.
Towards the identification of the primary particle nature by the radiodetecti...Ahmed Ammar Rebai PhD
Radio signal from extensive air showers EAS studied by the CODALEMA experiment have been detected by means of the classic short fat antennas array working in a slave trigger mode by a particle scintillator array. It is shown that the radio shower wavefront is curved with respect to the plane wavefront hypothesis. Then a new tting model (parabolic model) is proposed to fit the radio signal time delay distributions in an event-by-event basis. This model take
into account this wavefront property and several shower geometry parameters such as: the existence of an apparent localised radio-emission source located at a distance Rc from the antenna array of and the radio shower core on the
ground. Comparison of the outputs from this model and other reconstruction models used in the same experiment show:
1)- That the radio shower core is shifted from the particle shower core in a statistic analysis approach.
2)- The capability of the radiodetection method to reconstruct the curvature radius with a statistical error less than 50 g.cm−2 .
Finally a preliminary study of the primary particle nature has been performed based on a comparison between data and Xmax distribution from Aires Monte-Carlo simulations for the same set of events.

Abstract The boundaries of multiverse are almost infinite and so the thirst of mankind for latest technology .man has startled many principles of space and nature by gaining them facing all fatal difficulties. Time is one quantity which is considered to be fast happening, but when it comes to happenings in space it is faster. All what we look into space is past; under least possible cases we could see the present. So, there has a necessicity for us to keep a big eye on making our search for extra-galactic recourses or extra-celestial life forms etc with equal speeds of space time. for this to be achieved by us we need to make some drastic changes in our telescope usage and we have to adopt technological up gradation and we should no longer make our telescope concentrate on the same celestial body for days continuously , indeed mili seconds should be enough to grab the required information .

High-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning is a prospective technology that will be used in future automotive navigation systems. This system will be a composite of the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian Federation's Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), China Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and the European Union’s Galileo. The major improvement in accuracy and precision is based on (1) multiband signal transmitting, (2) carrier phase correction, (3) Real Time Kinematic (RTK). Due to the size and high-cost of today’s survey-grade antenna solutions, this kind of technology is difficult to use widely in the automotive sector. In this paper, a low-cost small size dual-band ceramic GNSS patch antenna is presented from design to real sample. A further study of this patch antenna illustrates the absolute phase center variation measured in an indoor range to achieve a received signal phase error correction. In addition, this low-cost antenna solution is investigated when integrated into a standard multi-band automotive antenna product. This product is evaluated both on its own in an indoor range and on a typical vehicle roof at an outdoor range. By using this evaluation file to estimate the receiver position could achieve phase motion error-free result.

Doppler Characterization for LEO Satellites
Irfan Ali, Member, IEEE, Naofal Al-Dhahir, Member, IEEE, and John E. Hershey, Senior Member, IEEE
Abstract— Mobile ground-based terminals observe significant
Doppler on the forward channel when communicating through
low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. This paper deals with the
analytic derivation of the Doppler shift measured by a user
on the surface of earth on a signal transmitted by a circular
orbit LEO satellite. Two simplifications are performed to obtain
the analytical expression of the Doppler shift as a function
of time. First, during the visibility duration of the satellite at
a terminal, the trajectory of the satellite with respect to the
earth is approximated by a great circle arc. Second, the angular
velocity of the satellite with respect to the user is assumed to be
constant. Numerical results validate the approximations. Another
result of our analysis is an expression for the visibility window
duration of a satellite at a terminal as a function of the maximum
elevation angle. An algorithm for estimating the parameters of the
Doppler curve based on a couple of Doppler and Doppler-rate
measurements is also presented.
Index Terms— Doppler characterization, Doppler estimation,
LEO satellite, orbital approximation, satellite visibility.
I. INTRODUCTION
FOR SATELLITE communications through low earth orbit
(LEO) satellites, mobile units (terminals) or earth stations
observe significant Doppler, which has to be estimated and
compensated for, to enable reliable communication. In this let-
ter we mathematically characterize the Doppler shift observed
at points on earth for circular orbit satellites.
The Doppler estimation algorithm presented here can easily
be implemented in the terminal’s processor. Thus, mobile
terminals, at the onset of satellite visibility, can predict the
shape of the Doppler-time variation over the remainder of the
visibility duration. This information could be used to improve
the performance of the terminal’s phase-lock loop. Moreover,
the terminal can also estimate the duration of the visibility
window and the instant of maximum elevation. This could be
used as a basis for multiple-access by scheduling transmission
of packets from the terminal at higher elevation angles to
the satellite. A more elaborate multiple-access scheme based
on Doppler characterization has been proposed in [4]. The
Doppler characterization can be used to predict the visibility-
time function of a satellite at a terminal [5]. Effective power
conservation at the terminal, by switching the power supply
off during the nonvisibility periods and then switching it on
based on the visibility-time information, can be implemented.
Previous research has primarily focused on methodology
to compensate for Doppler shifts. Only in [1] and [2] did the

authors attempt to characterize Doppler-time curves. In [1] the
authors consider the simple case of circular LEO satellites in
the equatorial plane and Doppler observed by points on the
equator. However, they did not consider the general case of
inclined circular orbits and points not on the ground trace.
In [2] the authors derived expressions for the time-evolution
of elevation angle and Doppler for elliptical orbit satellites.
However, they did not parameterize Doppler curves observed
by points on earth.
II. DOPPLER CHARACTERIZATION
For LEO satellites, the Doppler frequency at terminals
exhibits well-behaved variation with time that can be param-
eterized by the maximum elevation angle from the terminal
to the satellite during the visibility window. This S-shaped
variation is depicted in Fig. 1 for maximum elevation angles
ranging from 11.4 to 90 for a terminal located at latitude
39 N and longitude 77 W. The satellite follows a circular orbit
(eccentricity 0) of altitude 1000 km and inclination 53 The
minimum elevation angle for visibility is assumed to be 10 .
Doppler shift is captured in terms of normalized Doppler shift
which is equal to , where is the relative velocity of the
satellite with respect to the terminal and is the speed of light.
Time is expressed relative to the zero Doppler instant. The
zero Doppler instant is the time during the visibility window
at which the elevation angle from the terminal to the satellite is
at its maximum value and the satellite is at its closest approach
to the terminal. The Doppler frequency shift is shown only
for the visibility duration of the satellite at the terminal; the

visibility duration increases as the maximum elevation angle

A. Analysis Strategy
The first step in our analysis is to derive, from geometry, the
equation for the observed Doppler shift for a given terminal
location and a maximum elevation angle. The analysis is
performed as seen from the terminal’s location, i.e., in the earth
centered fixed (ECF) coordinate frame, using trigonometric
formulas for spherical triangles, i.e., triangles formed by arcs
of great-circles. To use the spherical triangle laws, we make the
assumption that in the ECF frame the satellite’s orbit during
the visibility window can be approximated by a great-circle
arc. We then show that the variation in the angular velocity
of the satellite in the ECF frame is very small ( 3%) for
most LEO circular orbits and, hence, can be approximated
by a constant. We next derive the equation for the visibility
window duration of a satellite for a given maximum elevation
angle.
B. Doppler Equation
Consider the geometry of Fig. 2(a). The coordinate system
is an ECF coordinate system. denotes the location of the
terminal which observes a maximum elevation angle A
segment of the ground trace and the corresponding segment of
the satellite’s orbit is shown in the figure. is the subsatellite
point at the instant the terminal observes maximum elevation
angle.
In the ECF frame the satellite’s orbit is not a great-circle
due to the rotation of the earth (see [3, Figs. 2–15, pp. 72]).
However, the visibility window at a point on earth for a
LEO satellite is small compared to the orbit period. For
example, for a circular orbit altitude of 1000 km, the maximum
visibility window duration is less than 14 min, whereas the
orbit period is 1.75 h. Hence, for the visibility window duration
the deviation of the satellite’s orbit from a great-circle arc is
small.
The slant range is determined by the law of cosines
applied to the plane triangle , redrawn in Fig. 2(b)

imum elevation angle, and is the angular distance

Differentiating the above expression and substituting it in
the expression for the derivative of the slant range, we have

elevation angle satisfies

From (5), we observe that the normalized Doppler is a
function of the maximum elevation angle and the angular
velocity of the satellite in the ECF frame.

C. Satellite Velocity
In the earth centered inertial (ECI) frame the angular veloc-
ity is constant; however, the angular velocity of the satellite
in the ECF frame varies with latitude due to earth’s rotation.
Consider the geometry of Fig. 3. Let denote the inclination
of the orbit. The angular velocity of the satellite in the
ECI coordinate system is denoted by The corresponding

E. Numerical Results
The configuration for the numerical results consists of a
satellite in a circular orbit (eccentricity 0) of altitude 1000
km and orbit inclination of 53 The terminal is assumed to
be located at 39 N and 77 W (Washington, DC). A computer
orbit generation program was used to generate exact Doppler-
time curves.
Fig. 1 consists of plots of exact normalized Doppler-time
and the analytic Doppler-time (5) approximation for a range
of maximum elevation angles. In Fig. 4, we provide numerical
results for the visibility window duration versus maximum
elevation angle. In Fig. 5, we plot results of the approxi-
mation error, in terms of coefficient of determination [6, p.
449], between the Doppler-time approximation and the exact
Doppler-time curves. The coefficient of determination is
defined as

those for estimated Doppler.
We consider three orbit altitudes of 1000, 5000, and 10 000
km. The orbit inclination is 53 in all three cases. The analytic
approximations are excellent fits to the exact Doppler-time
curves. We observe that the approximation error increases as
the altitude of the orbit increases due to larger variations in
the satellite’s ECF velocity, as discussed in Section II-C.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
In this letter we derived an equation for Doppler-time curves
at ground-based terminals on the forward channel due to the
relative motion of circular orbit LEO satellite. We showed
that Doppler-time curves can be classified based solely on the
maximum elevation angle between the terminal and satellite
during the satellite’s visibility window. This characterization
depends only on the relative geometry between the terminal
and satellite. We also derived an expression for the visibility
window duration of satellite as a function of the maximum
elevation angle. An algorithm for estimating the parameters
of Doppler curve based on a couple Doppler and Doppler
rate measurements is provided. Applications of the Doppler
characterization to multiple-access and for power conservation
at terminals are also discussed. Numerical results validate our
approximations.
The enhancement of our estimation algorithm in the pres-
ence of noise is a good direction for further investigations.
